This Year’s ACC Basketball Coaches

This will be the fifth straight season the ACC sees at least one new head coach, the 11th coaching change in the past seven years.

The newcomer in 2020-21 is Wake Forest’s Steve Forbes, an Iowan who’s made more professional stops than a streetcar and won three quarters of his games as a head coach.

Wake is Forbes’s 11th stop since embarking on a college coaching path during the 1989-90 season. That was after a year as sports information director at Southern Arkansas, his alma mater, where Forbes surely realized there was a more prestigious (or at least more lucrative) career in directing players than in hyping them.
