NC State basketball is building momentum for the Justin Gainey era, as the new head coach has officially assembled his full on-court staff. Gainey, stepping into his first season leading the Wolfpack, announced the hiring of five key staff members, rounding out a bench that blends championship pedigree with deep recruiting ties.

The new assistant coaches bring a wealth of experience to Raleigh. Alvin Brooks III, arriving from Kentucky, was part of Baylor's 2021 national championship staff and is renowned as a top-tier recruiter. He's joined by Matthew Driscoll, a former head coach with nearly 40 years of experience, including 16 seasons at North Florida where he became the program's all-time wins leader.

Completing the assistant trio are Riley Collins and Anthony Goins. Goins, coming from Georgia, played a key role in developing one of the nation's highest-scoring offenses last season. The staff is further bolstered by Bill Comar, who joins as the director of basketball operations.

In a statement, Gainey emphasized the collective mindset of his new team, stating, "This coaching staff brings championship experience and a relentless commitment to winning." He highlighted the dual focus on competing for titles and developing student-athletes both on and off the court, aiming to build strong leaders prepared for success beyond basketball.

This strategic assembly of talent signals a clear intent from Gainey and NC State to build a formidable program in the ACC. For Wolfpack fans, it's an exciting foundation as the team prepares to turn the page and chase new goals in the seasons ahead.
