RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) It was an unusual year for North Carolina State athletic director Debbie Yow.
The Wolfpack again flirted with Yow’s long-term goal of becoming a top-25 overall sports program while having five coaches win top honors in the Atlantic Coast Conference. But she also had the same number of coaching changes during the 2016-17 season, including for one of the school’s highest-profile programs.
”You deal with what you have,” Yow said in an interview with The Associated Press. ”And I have high expectations. We don’t back away from those expectations. I always feel like you have to be sure you give coaches plenty of latitude and opportunity to change course, to get things straight.
