North Carolina State University has announced the hiring of Will Wade as the new head basketball coach. Wade, who previously coached at McNeese, led the Cowboys to back-to-back NCAA tournament berths, including an upset victory over fifth-seeded Clemson. NC State’s athletic director, Boo Corrigan, described Wade as the right leader for the Wolfpack, citing his coaching success and strong relationships with players. Wade has accumulated 244 wins in 11 seasons at various college programs, with seven NCAA tournament appearances and a Sweet 16 run at LSU in 2019. Despite being fired from LSU for NCAA violations, Wade is considered a proven winner in the coaching world. NC State decided to part ways with former coach Kevin Keatts after a disappointing season following a remarkable Final Four run. Wade expressed his excitement and honor at being chosen to lead the Wolfpack basketball program, citing the university’s rich tradition and passionate fan base as key factors in his decision. Wade, who is known for his tough coaching style and emphasis on accountability, is eager to get started in his new role and looks forward to becoming a part of Wolfpack nation.
