I do not live in North Carolina, but here is a serious question for those of you who do. Does anybody ever say to Hatch or members of the Board or Wellman, what the fuck is going on? Do any people who actually interact with them just ask them if they are happy with this garbage wake fans have had to deal with for 9 years? What is their answer?
I met RW years ago and asked him why he thought Bzz was a good hire (this was in Bzz’s 2nd or 3rd year) and why he didn’t make Dino an interim coach and run a legit search for someone to take over the program after Skip passed. That son of a bitch looked at me and said (and I’m paraphrasing) ... “we’ll be fine. We just need fan support and the program will get back on track.”
I was stunned at the simpleton approach. Told him that isn’t all it takes to turn a program around and fan support is a byproduct of success on the court and eventually people would stop giving their support. Again, that SOB looked at me and said ... “thankfully we have a lot of fans who migh think differently.”
He has no idea what he’s doing. And I’m convinced that DM will be back next year.

Why hasn’t someone heckled him out of the stadium? The codpiece went onto the court yesterday to give awards. Not a single boo. He sits in the seats with everyone else. He should hear “Fuck you, Ron Wellman” for the entire game. I’d like to think a couple of the few hundred Wake fans in attendance would let him hear it.
UNCC fans and students put major pressure on the administration and long time AD Judy Rose. She eventually stepped down. Wellman doesn’t hear it enough. He should hear it from Wake fans every minute of every day.
I don't hate Wellman, but I wish he'd leave. Wake has made him a millionaire many times over. A real professional would see that it's time for new blood, say thanks for the opportunity, and call it a career.
Then they would be removed. I was at the Louisville game and someone in the student section was yelling "Fuck you!" to some Louisville player. Almost immediately, security came over and told him to stop. He did but I'm sure if he hadn't then he would have been escorted out.
This thread should be pinned to the top.
It took every bit of restraint yesterday not to scream at the top of my lungs "RON, THIS IS YOUR FAULT" when he was presenting the awards at halftime. I didn't want to take away from anyone's moment, but enough is enough. How in the hell is he still sitting on his high horse? He has single handedly ruined the program.
The below video should be emailed to him on a daily basis. How does he sleep at night knowing what he has done?
