Joel Justus named a candidate for the Appalachian State head coaching vacancy

Last week the Mountaineers fired Jim Fox after five seasons. As the administration searches for a fresh face to come to Boone, North Carolina, Ethan Joyce of the Winston-Salem Journal believes Justus should be considered.

Justus is a Winston-Salem native in the midst of his third season as an assistant coach with the Wildcats. He joined the program in 2014-15, working as the director of analytics then as special assistant to the head coach for the following season.

Before that, Justus was the head coach at Davidson Day High School for two years.
