Overview
- Saint Louis coach Josh Schertz withdrew from NC State’s head‑coach search after interviewing, according to ESPN reporting cited by ClutchPoints.
- Schertz told reporters Saturday he had spoken with NC State and had not received a job offer.
- NC State also met with Tennessee associate head coach Justin Gainey, a former Wolfpack guard, and with Furman head coach Bob Richey.
- Schertz recently signed a six‑year extension at Saint Louis reported in the $20–22 million range, which insiders said would have required a richer salary and major NIL backing to match.
- The opening followed Will Wade’s return to LSU after one season at NC State, a late‑cycle change that raises the stakes for roster retention as the transfer portal opens.
