Gainey Set to Lead N.C. State Basketball

Justin Gainey, a former N.C. State player and Tennessee assistant coach, is set to become the new head coach for the Wolfpacks mens basketball team. Gainey, known for his defensive strategies, has an agreement in place and is awaiting approval from the schools board of trustees. He previously worked as an admin coordinator and operations director at N.C. State, and his defensive coordinator role at Tennessee led to top-three rankings in adjusted defensive efficiency for two consecutive years. Gaineys hiring comes after a series of unsuccessful seasons, including Will Wades one-and-done disaster and Kevin Keatts post-Final Four flop. Gaineys defense-first approach could potentially spark a turnaround for the Wolfpack. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
