Glance Won't Be The Next Women's Hoops Coach

Considering how they've conducted the search, I think NC State athletics officials have been hinting at this from the get-go. Stephanie Glance will not be the head coach:

N.C. State has decided not to promote Stephanie Glance to the position of head women’s basketball coach, WRAL has learned from a source in the Wolfpack athletics office.

Glance served as coach Kay Yow’s top assistant and was named interim coach after Yow could not continue as coach. She continued to coach the team after Yow died.

Glance had expressed strong interest in the position and Yow pushed to have her named. Glance was out of the office Thursday afternoon and could not be reached for comment.

Wolfpack athletics director Lee Fowler was travelling and could not be Thursday afternoon. Fowler has told WRAL he expected to make a decision by the middle of April.

A completely fresh start for the program is the right move, in my opinion.
