Former Wichita State assistant coach Steve Forbes has been tabbed as the next head coach for Wake Forest, the team announced on Thursday. The head coaching job became open earlier this week following the firing of Danny Manning.
After his departure from WSU in 2015, Forbes found success at East Tennessee State as a head coach. In five seasons at ETSU, Forbes clinched two NCAA Tournament births while also eclipsing the 100-win mark during his tenure. This past season, Forbes led the Buccaneers to a regular season and postseason title, clinching his second tournament bid with the Buccaneers.
