First off, no one said anything about cheating. If you guys accept NQs, then it is what it is. No "cheating" involved. Sounds a lot like an ECU fan putting words in Amato's mouth.It's been known for a long time in Wolfpack-land that Amato is exceptionally bad with the press. Maybe he feels like they are "out to get him" or something, but he's always given lots of snappy answers to their questions. It's been quite a topic of discussion among us. Does State get bad press because Amato is short with reporters? Or is Amato short with reporters because State gets bad press? Either way, Amato is bad with the media and they like to take advantage of that. Sometimes we fans will cheer his bluntness for saying something that needed to be said, but other times we'll cringe when he says something that we know is going to come right back to bite us. This is definitely a case of the latter, and I think it would be a good thing for him to give a short apology for that.In this particular press conference, he was pretty heavily baited by one reporter and eventually slipped up and said something stupid. Was what he said untrue? No, not at all. But should he have said it? Probably not. It came off as very bitter and in poor taste.For a complete transcript of the press conference, see this link:http://northcarolinastate.scout.com/2/567085.html Ummmm, no? IMO, preparing for a game has nothing to do with memorizing scores. I'm sure he watched a ton of film on schemes and formations and players; maybe he just forgot to watch the ESPN post-game wrap-up.The week before the game he gave some rave reviews about Getsy. It didn't sound like he was taking you too lightly at that point. Hardly. There's been all that "hot seat" talk by TV and newspaper analysts, but quite frankly, it's just not true. He is in absolutely no danger of being fired or run out of town this year. If he falters this year, then he'll be under some intense scrutiny next year, but he's honestly not on the hot seat this season, despite what ESPN wants you to think.Congrats on the win. It was a hard-played game, and we came out on the short end.
