Crothers: Pack getting better

Category: Word Press

In just over five minutes of discussion with the press, Mark Gottfried used the word better nine times.

We have to be better late in the game.

We’ve got to do a better job.

We’ve got to find a way to be a little bit better.

We’re going to get better.

We’ve got to get better.

At the end of his press conference, Gottfried let out a huge sigh and then retraced those 128 steps, a little slower this time, muttering with his small entourage about what might have been. When he got back to the Wolfpack locker room, Jim Harrick, Gottfried’s former boss at UCLA, was waiting for him. Harrick, dressed in a bright red sweater, draped his arm over Gottfried’s shoulder and gave him the kind of consoling hug that only a coach can give another. Then Harrick said, “It happens to the best of them.”

If we learned anything from Thursday night, it’s that the Wolfpack isn’t the best, but they are better than they’ve been in a long time. Clearly Gottfried’s next goal is to make them better than better.

The rest is here:
