Former player Justin Gainey, who has spent five seasons as an assistant with Tennessee, is expected to return to NC State as the Wolfpack’s next head basketball coach, sources confirmed to ESPN on Monday amid multiple reports.
Gainey, 49, played for NC State from 1996 to 2000 and later began his foray into coaching as an administrative coordinator at the school from 2006 to 2008. He will replace Will Wade, who left the Wolfpack last week after one season to return to LSU.
