St. Louis Head Coach Josh Schertz Rejects NC State, Who Is Now The Leader For Wolfpack Job? Schertz has been highly successful in his five years as head coach, including the last two seasons at St. Louis. He signed a six-year, $22 million contract extension with the Billikens after their season ended. Schertz led the Billikens to the 2026 Atlantic-10 regular season crown and their first NCAA Tournament since 2019. St. Louis defeated Georgia in the first round before falling to Michigan in the second. He has won 48 of 69 games with the Bilikens and is 114-61 overall with two regular-season conference titles. “While most of these conversations occur as they should in private, on rare occasions, it unfortunately plays out in the public sphere. Just know that I, along with everyone else inside of the program, realize what a special place this is and appreciate deeply all of you who make it so,” “Just to be clear on the post in question, I never said I was waiting on anyone to come back with a significantly better offer than SLU. I don’t think like that, and I have never chased money in my career. I have always chased success. The fact is, I have turned down significantly more money this Spring to remain at SLU. So,o while that may have looked like a paraphrased statement from me. I can assure you it was not.” © Mark Konezny, Imagn Images NC State Turning Attention To Justin Gainey Following Schertz’s withdrawal, Nakos said NC State will focus on convincing Gainey to take the job. Gainey, who played four seasons for the Wolfpack in the late 1990s, has never been a head coach. Corrigan met with Gainey before campaign ended with a loss to in the Elite Eight. Gainey has a ton of college experience, starting with a return to NC State after retiring from professional basketball.

He got his start as a college assistant coach with Elon in 2009-10. Gainey has also been an assistant at Appalachian State (2010-2014), Santa Clara (2017-18), and Arizona (2018-20).

Gainey moved to Tennessee and served as an assistant coach during the 2021-22 season under . He has been Barnes’ right-hand man, i.e., the associate head coach, since 2022. “Since the jump of this search, On3 has reported that Gainey’s name was at the top of the list for NC State,” Nakos said. “He’s a proven high-major assistant and is a former player and staff member at NC State. He was a top name in the coaching search a year ago when they hired . Gainey knows what expectations are at NC State and what the fanbase wants. There would be no pause to think about accepting an offer. At this point, it appears Gainey is the target for NC State.” Early Look At NC State Basketball in 2026-27? Whoever gets the Wolfpack job, and it certainly sounds like it will be Gainey, he will have to rebuild the roster completely.
