State fans need to stop giving Amato a free pass

Posted Sep 25, 2005

What should really make the Wolfpack faithful squirm in their bright red Adidases, assuming they choose to look past Amato's flashy wardrobe and personality, is that this is far from the first time he has lost a game he should have won. Amato's career record in the ACC is now 20-22, including a 2-3 mark against John Bunting - a man who has spent more time trying to stay off the hot seat these past few years than a Texas inmate on appeal.
