The Speaker for our next meeting will be Wes Moore, Head Women’s Basketball Coach at NC State. Since taking over the Wolfpack on April 5, 2013, Moore has posted a 242-81 (.749) record and led NC State to seven NCAA Tournament appearances and postseason invitations each year. He has guided the Pack to a 115-49 (.701) clip in the ACC, a league that consistently ranks among the top conferences in NCAA Division I women’s basketball. Seven of Moore’s 10 seasons have concluded in top-four finishes in the 15-member league. All 10 of his seasons in Raleigh have been winning seasons, and nine have included 20+ victories. He guided his team to four-straight NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 berths (2018, 19, 21, 22), highlighted by the program’s second-ever Elite Eight appearance in 2022.
Moore also led NC State to three-straight ACC Tournament titles for the first time in program history. The team’s win in 2020 was its first conference tournament championship since 1991, and the team repeated in 2021 and 2022. On March 2, 2023, in the first round of the ACC Tournament, Moore earned his 800th career win. He became the fifth active, third-ever ACC and 15th NCAA Division I coach of all time to reach that mark and accomplished it in his 1,048th career game. Moore is the first coach in history to advance three different teams to the NCAA Tournament at the Division I (NC State), II (Francis Marion) and III (Maryville College) level.
