Thank You Coach Lutz

I wanted to take a quick second to thank Coach Lutz for his services to NC State while he was on the coaching staff. I was lucky enough to work with him for two season, and there are not many people who possesses his kindness and generosity off the court. NC State will miss him on the sidelines. I am glad that he will still be a part of the NC State athletic family in his new role. Somethings you could always count on and one of those things was Bobby Lutz, he was always prepared and made sure every team was properly scouted.

His work with the scout team was magnificent as he had walk-ons and transfers working in unison to mimic opposing teams wrinkles and strategy. If players took the time to read the scouting report and listened to the walk-through’s then they were ahead of the curve coming into the game. A lot of time people on the outside like to criticize coaches for their performances, but that is usually after hindsight. I promise you that Bobby Lutz did everything he could while he was on the sidelines to help bring NC State’s Basketball Program back to the national spotlight.

Thanks again Coach Lutz and best of luck as Special Assistant to the Deputy Athletic Director. In his new role he will be involved in academics, housing, foreign trips, and special projects.
