The college basketball head coaching carousel continues to spin, and with each rotation, things become a little clearer.
NC State’s top candidate to replace Kevin Keatts as head coach of the Wolfpack is McNeese State’s Will Wade. This much is clear.
As far as we know, NC State is the only school to have met with Wade directly at this point. Obviously, the Wolfpack are in a unique position to do so, with their basketball season already complete. Undoubtedly, other schools have likely put out feelers to Wade through back channels or even directly, but arranging sit-down meetings with a head coach candidate is more challenging when your season isn’t over—especially if your current head coach still holds the title.
