KenPom can’t stop making up formulas, and his newest one calculates the best men’s basketball college head coaches heading into the 2025-26 season. NC State got them a good one, with newly appointed head coach Will Wade landing at #19.
Here is Ken Pomeroy’s explanation on how the formula is calculated:
ACC Coaches Ranked in the Top-25
4) Pat Kelsey (Louisville)
7) Kyle Smith (Stanford)
10) Steve Forbes (Wake Forest)
19) Will Wade (NC State)
I’ll be honest. I’m excited to see Wade on the list, but looking at the names on the list, I’d say KenPom’s formula is a little wonky.
