Cheering for anyone else is for quitters.

The NC State Basketball staff is looking much better after a busy week. The official roster page had only Coach Gainey listed a week ago, but look at it now. “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 […]

NC State’s 2026 season took a significant hit as multiple sources have confirmed that JR RHP Jacob Dudan will require Tommy John Surgery for a torn UCL, ending his season and dealing a significant blow to the Wolfpack. A potential 1st round pick in this year’s MLB Draft before the injury, this likely marks the […]
As has been rumored for a couple of days, multiple sources have reported that Coach Gainey is adding former Big 12 Associate Head Coach Matt Driscoll to his previously all SEC coaching staff. Coach Driscoll brings 20 years of head coaching experience (4 years D3 La Roche, 16 years North Florida) that should be invaluable […]
Multiple sources are reporting that Coach Gainey is adding Alvin Brooks III to his coaching staff. That is his second SEC assistant hired. Brooks has been a D1 assistant coach since 2007. and has worked at Bradley for Jim Lee, at Sam Houston State for Jason Hooten, at Kansas State for Bruce Weber, he was […]
Multiple sources are reporting that new NC State basketball head coach Justin Gainey has hired his offensive coordinator, Anthony Goins from UGA. The school has yet to announce the hire. Goins is originally from Greensboro, like Coach Gainey. He started his coaching career at Dartmouth in 2013. He then worked for James Jones at Yale, […]
NC State and UNCW had a back-and-forth game on Tuesday night in Raleigh, with the Wolfpack pulling away in the 6th inning and getting some late shutdown innings from the bullpen. Ultimately, State captured the 7-4 win over the Seahawks to improve to 22-11 on the year and run their win streak to four games. […]
Significant changes continue on the women’s side as well as the men’s, similarly in the vein of not-surprising-but-still-disappointing. Tilda Trygger is second major piece from the 2026 team to hit the exit, and she is due a big payday from a power-conference program, if reports are accurate. (She supposedly had a $400k offer to leave […]
12:01 April 7, 2026: And we’re off! There are already more than 1,000 D1 transfers listed in Verbal Commits including more than 50 from the ACC. It’s going to fill faster this time. Let the games begin! Here’s a look at how fast the staff positions were filled last hiring cycle, and how quickly the […]
Rising sophomore guard Matt Able is headed to the transfer portal, per reports on Monday morning. He’s also testing the NBA Draft waters, but in all likelihood will be playing college basketball next season, just not in Raleigh. All you can really ask after a coaching change is that the players still on the team […]
One thing that’s helpful in keeping things in perspective is remembering that there are several people currently hurtling toward the moon, and they were sent there on purpose. NC State alum Christina Koch is one of them, as part of the Artemis II crew that launched earlier this week. The Artemis II mission is going […]
It’s been a rough couple of weeks for NC State baseball, as you may have noticed. Some close games go the wrong way, you get a bit of a slump at the plate, and next thing you know it’s panic, panic everywhere. Such is baseball season. Fortunately, it’s the first week of April. NC State […]
What might a Justin Gainey team look like? Ask me again in 12 months for a better answer. However, he was the associate head coach on an Elite Eight team. He had been on that team for five seasons, long enough to have probably played some role in the recruitment of every player on that […]
The earliest bits of concrete NC State sports memories I have involve Torry Holt and Justin Gainey—1997 felt a little transformative for both sports at the time. Torry helped the football team pull a huge upset in a (nonconference) game at Syracuse to open the ‘97 season; in March of that year, Gainey played every […]
“I’m humbled and honored to be the head coach of the NC State men’s basketball program,” said Gainey. “This university helped build me as a player and as a person. To now lead it as head coach is truly a full-circle moment. There’s a responsibility that comes with leading your alma mater, and I embrace […]
Developments yesterday pointed in this direction, and NC State is not wasting any time: Tennessee assistant Justin Gainey is set to become NC State’s next head coach. If you missed it last week, Rick Barnes gave a strong endorsement of Justin Gainey: Gainey has spent the last five years working for Barnes at Tennessee, and […]
According to various national media reports this afternoon, Saint Louis’ Josh Schertz has withdrawn his name from consideration for the NC State head coaching job. NC State just met with Schertz on Saturday, so I appreciate that he made a quick decision. Given the nice extension he just got from Saint Louis, this isn’t a […]
Saint Louis head coach Josh Schertz appears to be at or near the top of Boo Corrigan’s list of candidates, so let’s meet him. 1.) How old is this fellow? He won’t be hitting retirement soon, right? Josh Schertz will turn 51 years old on July 5, so he’s got plenty of coaching ahead of […]
Since the modern era of Wolfpack basketball, I’m going back to Everett Case, NC State has not hired an assistant coach to fill the Men’s basketball head coaching position. Notes: So Why Would Corrigan Hire One Now? And Let’s Not Kid Around, if He Did It Would Be Justin Gainey. Boo Corrigan is not a […]

Opponent: Georgia Tech Mascot: Andre 3000 | School Location: Waffle House, GA | Conference: ACC 2026 Record: 19-5 (6-3, T-2nd) | 2026 RPI Rank: 22 2025 Record: 41-19 (19-11, 1st) | 2025 RPI Rank: 19 2024 Record: 33-25 (15-15, 4th Coastal) | 2024 RPI Rank: 45 When? Where? How do I watch? Location: Russ Chandler Stadium […]
Boo Corrigan met with the media on Thursday afternoon to talk about what happened with Will Wade this week, and how he plans to move forward. A lot happened very quickly in what has been a bizarre week—I suppose it’s appropriate that Wade now works alongside Lane Kiffin, who pulled this exact stunt on Tennessee […]
After 366 days, one insane photo pose as Jimmy V incarnate, and one lousy trip to Dayton, Will Wade is leaving NC State for LSU, per various reports Thursday morning. Wade met with Boo Corrigan on Wednesday to allow the Pack to make one last pitch, but obviously it wasn’t good enough. Maybe it never […]
