NC State men’s basketball hot board 2.0: Who the Pack could turn to if top coaching options go elsewhere

At this point of NC State’s search for a new men’s basketball coach after the Wolfpack fired Kevin Keatts on Sunday, the Wolfpack is most interested in VCU’s Ryan Odom and McNeese State’s Will Wade, both hot commodities in this coaching cycle.  Odom is also on the top of Virginia’s list this offseason, while Wade could opt to wait for an SEC opening in the near future. So what if neither one picks the Pack?  Let’s take a look at who NC State Athletic Director Boo Corrigan could look to next for the program’s 21st head coach if his top candidates go elsewhere. Candidates are listed in alphabetical order.
