“I couldn’t be happier to have these five coaches join me at NC State,” said Gainey. “This coaching staff brings championship experience and a mindset towards a relentless commitment to winning.

We are here to develop our players on and off the court, build strong leaders, and prepare these young men for success in life. ” New additions to the staff – Welcome to the Pack! 🐺 pic.
