Unsure if a UNC guy would be okay coaching at NC State (obviously it's not Duke), but makes you wonder if Wes Miller could have been a realistic candidate at NC State had he not taken the Charlotte gig. I mean, the way things work now, not like NC State couldn't try to poach him if they wanted him...

In think Wes has to rehabilitate his career and Charlotte is an ideal place to do that. Whether he will or not remains to be determined. But he unfortunately did not prove he could coach at the P4 level at UC. If he does well at Charlotte, he will get some looks from P4 schools in the future.

Nonetheless, he was "fired up!"

If he had excelled here, he’d be on his way to UNC right now. So either way we have a new coach for the coming season.

Will Wade slithers on his body. Didn't even provide the common courtesy of telling the NC State AD himself. His agent sent an e-mail.
