So hours later I actually remembered to ask my question so our band of merry researchers and Pack fans could help me piece together an idea, based on the recent Del Negro discussions on sports radio shows. Paxson tried to punch him!?
1) Number of NBA affiliate Pack Graduates from the Valvano era vs the LESS Robinson vs the Herb Sendek era.
2) And the coincidence of the lack of prominence the Pack has displayed since the ouster and subsequent tragic loss of Valvano.
3) So did Valvano's recruitment/coaching/etc habits really undermine our whole program since his recruits are now NBA and NCAA coaches and former players whereas players under Less OTHER than Todd Fuller accomplished? And didn't TF just ride the bench for the vast majority of his NBA participation (although I'm sure the 4.0 Math major made better use of his near millions).
4) Or was LESS SOOOO bad at his job (from the ten games we lost by less than a combined 30 points one year.) that the plummet of our program that had held an equal share of tobacco road greatness up to that point (and was ahead of Duke hardware-wise)
5) So can we look at the recent one and done's with Lowe as an overall step forward in a changed NCAA in spite of the lack of post season success?
6) And is the one and done converting the ACC from a scoring juggernaut to a defensive minded conference (ppg in the previous seasons vs any three season period in the aughts and the nineties. . .
7) Yup, my ADD is in full sprint right now.

At this time, I can't help you with this query except to ask if you've read Personal Fouls? Almost all of the NC State players portrayed as unworthy thugs end up making something of themselves as a NBA coach, player, or life in general.
In retrospect, the accusations seem quite unfair and unfounded.
I read it years ago, but can't remember content. The subtitle was something like, they gave me a lifetime contract and fired me. . .
They gave me a lifetime contract then declared me dead.
