I haven't seen one analyst pick SDSU to win this one. Kind of sickening if you ask me. Just means that many brackets in Bristol & NY will be blown up right about Noon Pacific come Friday. Where's andy katz when you need him?

I've seen 8 predictions and not one says we will win. This is the kind of thing I love to see! LOVE IT!

He clearly says "We [can] go to the final four....... we can do it."
So relax.

This is the video of NC State celebrating getting into the Tournament. About 55 seconds in the head coach says they are going to win and they are going to the final four. I don't know if I like his confidence or if he just guaranteed a loss against us. Pretty cool though... www.youtube.com/watch?v=0YNQ9OZ3ifoWell I mean you want your coach to be optimistic. You want your coach to believe in his team. So IDK why you are bashing him. He is saying the right things. If he said he didn't believe he can make the final 4...he wouldnt be coaching there much longer.

You say "one game at a time" to the media, as annoying coach-speak.
You don't use annoying coach speak when speaking to players and attempting to get them pumped and instill confidence.
Be upset about the analysts all picking NC State if you'd like, but you guys are really reaching for things to be upset about on this Gottfried stuff.

He clearly says "We [can] go to the final four....... we can do it." So relax. Clearly says that? Here are his exact words... "We're gonna win, fellas. We're gonna win. We're gonna win. We're going to the Final Four. I believe with all my heart. I believe with all my heart. We're playing as good as anyone in the nation right now. We can do it."

"hooray, we're in and we're prepared to lose the first game?" You tell the team you are proud of them and that they have the talent to do something special - but will need to take it one game at a time. Just an FYI, NC State just took UNC down to the wire. What you may not know is that UNC did not play John Henson due to a wrist injury. Not the Muppets guy - UNC's leading rebounder who is also averaging 14 points per game (i.e. double double machine). I am glad NC State my be getting a big head on this game, it could result in a rude awakening.

This is best for us. I like it when the opponents put a chip on our teams shoulder.

Be upset about the analysts all picking NC State if you'd like, but you guys are really reaching for things to be upset about on this Gottfried stuff. So yes, we agree. Say anything you want to your players behind closed doors and use coach speak in public with the media. The problem you have with your argument is that umm, wasn't the media there for his speach? Wasn't this a public forum for which he made his comments? But hey, maybe I am wrong, but seems odd that I have not seen one other coach make a sweet sixteen prediction. That includes Kentucky, Syracuse, etc. Why not? Most likely because their coach's know better.

^He is talking directly to his players, and there is a camera there. This is not a press conference. But if you guys need the extra motivation then fine, take it.

Just admit that he made a comment that was better off behind closed doors or post some vids of other coach's making these predictions public.

Gottfried is an excellent motivator. What he has accomplished in his first year as our head coach is remarkable. What he has done recruiting-wise is even more amazing: top five class for next season with 3 McD's All Americans and working on at least one more. With that in mind, I would expect him to tell the players that they have proven themselves to be much better than their early-season record indicates based on their late season performance.

It's no big deal. I've heard Gottfried and Cal coach Montgomery are very close friends.
