So for the first time in the Mark Gottfried era, there is an assistant coach opening on staff. With Rob Moxley moving to a supplementary position, there is now a spot to fill on the Pack bench. There are a few obvious internal candidates, several others with Pack ties, and a few with no previous relationship to NCSU.
Among the internal candidates, two have previous coaching experience. Director of Basketball Operations Jeff Dunlap has assistant coaching experience at Alabama with Gottfried as well as a few years scattered among other schools. He also played at UCLA and has an impressive resume among grassroots-level basketball.
