Here's my take on the situation: I have no idea what exactly Gary did or didn't do (I don't think any of us do). But I find it very unlikely that Gary would go out of his way to call every potential NC State coach and bad mouth Debbie Yow. He's got more important things to do like recruiting and/or golf. It's more likely that a coach or two called him, and he gave an honest assessment of Yow (no doubt a harsh one). I also wouldn't rule out the option that Debbie Yow simply exaggerated this whole thing as a play to her fanbase. We know she reads blogs and message boards (heck, she even read ours) and she's been known to gauge the pulse of a fanbase through those forums. In the days leading up to the hire, the Wolfies were already blaming Gary for "sabotaging" the coaching search. It wouldn't shock me if Debbie Yow just picked up on that and ran with it.

If you read one piece on Yow vs. Gary, this should be it. If he's telling the truth, (which I suspect he is), Yow comes out looking like a truly awful manager.
