The 12 seasons of the Moore era have been among the best in the 51 years of women’s basketball at NC State. Since taking over the Wolfpack on April 5, 2013, Moore has posted a 301-95 (.760) record and has led NC State to nine NCAA Tournament appearances, as well as postseason invitations each year. His eight straight tournament appearances broke a school record for the longest streak of NCAA Tournament appearances. He has guided the Pack to a 144-56 (.720) clip in the ACC, a league that consistently ranks among the top conferences in NCAA Division I women’s basketball. Nine of Moore’s 12 seasons have concluded in top-four finishes in the league. All 12 of his seasons in Raleigh have been winning campaigns and 11 have included 20+ victories. The head of the helm is coming off having guided his team to its sixth Sweet 16 appearance in the past seven tournaments (2018, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25). Moore guided NC State to three-straight ACC Tournament titles, becoming the first head coach of the program to do so. The team’s wi

Wolfpack women’s basketball alumna Ashley Williams (Class of 2017) made her return to Raleigh as an assistant coach on NC State’s staff prior to the start of the 2022-23 season and is approaching her fourth season ahead of 2025-26. Williams joined the Wolfpack staff after spending the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons as an assistant coach at Indiana, which is where she also completed a two-year graduate manager stint (2017-19) immediately following her graduation from NC State. Tasked with a vital role of leading a star-studded group of NC State guards, the Pack had one of the best backcourts in the country in 2024-25. Three members of the backcourt made the All-ACC First Team with Aziaha James and Saniya Rivers becoming second-time selections and Zoe Brooks a first-time choice. Brooks also became the program's first ACC Most Improved Player. NC State earned its sixth Sweet 16 appearance in the past seven tournaments, as well as a share of the ACC Regular Season Championship. The Pack finished No. 9 in the final Associated Press poll, logging a 28-7 record and 16-2 mark in league play. In Williams' second season as a coach at her alma mater, the 2023-24 squad had one of the most historical seasons in program history. Coach Williams helped to lead the program to its first Final Four appearance since 1998, as well as a 31-7 record, No. 4 final AP ranking and a tie for a program record nine AP top 25 wins. Following the 2022-23 season, Junior Diamond Johnson (All-ACC Second Team) and

Houston Fancher has completed seven seasons on NC State's staff, approaching year No. 8 in 2025-26. Head coach Wes Moore announced the addition of Fancher to the staff on May 17, 2018, and he was promoted to an assistant coach role ahead of the 2023-24 season after the NCAA voted to allow two more assistants on Division I women’s basketball staffs. In his second year with coaching duties at NC State, the Pack shared the 2025 ACC Regular Season Championship and made the ACC Tournament Title game for the second straight year. With a 28-7 record and 16-2 mark in the ACC, the Pack finished the season with its sixth Sweet 16 trip in the past seven seasons and a No. 9 ranking in the final Associated Press Poll. In his first season as an on-court coach with NC State, the Wolfpack enjoyed a historical season. The 2023-24 season ended in the program’s first Final Four appearance since 1998, as well as a 31-7 record, a top four final AP ranking and nine top 25 wins. During his tenure in Raleigh, Fancher has been a part of helping the Pack to three ACC Tournament titles, two ACC regular-season crowns, six NCAA Tournament appearances, six final top 10 rankings and a Final Four in 2024. Fancher joined the Wolfpack after serving as the interim head coach of the Charlotte men’s basketball program from December 2017 through the remainder of the 2017-18 season. He was a member of the Charlotte 49ers coaching staff for a total of three seasons. Prior to joining the Charlotte staff, he had 12 y

Kevin Leatherwood joined the NC State women’s basketball staff as an assistant coach prior to the start of the 2023-24 season following the NCAA vote to allow two more assistants on Division I women’s basketball staffs. He approaches his third season on staff ahead of 2025-26, focusing on the post players and player development. The Pack has gone 58-14 (28-7 in ACC) since he's been in Raleigh. Coming off a memorable 2024-25 season, the Pack earned its sixth Sweet 16 berth in the past seven tournaments, and a 28-7 record, 16-2 mark in the ACC, to share the ACC Regular Season title. With injuries to the frontcourt during the season, Leatherwood was big in the production and development of Tilda Trygger, Lorena Awou and Mallory Collier. Trygger earned her way into the starting lineup and earned ACC All-Freshman Team honors and Awou improved immensely in her short amount of time playing competitive basketball. That 2024-25 team finished No. 9 in the Associated Press rankings. In his first season at NC State, the Wolfpack enjoyed a historical 31-7 season, which was highlighted by the program’s first NCAA Final Four appearance since 1998. The team finished the season with a No. 4 final AP ranking and logged nine top 25 wins. Post players River Baldwin and Mimi Collins were instrumental to the Pack's success, each of whom saw their scoring averages double from the seasons prior. Leatherwood came to Raleigh after spending the previous three seasons as an assistant coach at Navy. He a

Nikki West returned to the NC State coaching staff as an assistant coach prior to the start of the 2020-21 campaign and was re-elevated to associate head coach ahead of the 2022-23 season. West previously spent five seasons (2013-14 through 2017-18) on the Wolfpack staff, and she rejoined the Pack after spending the 2019-20 campaign as an assistant coach for the Charlotte 49ers. In her nine completed seasons with the Wolfpack, West has helped the program post a 236-85 overall record and a 118-48 record in ACC games (134-56 vs. all ACC opponents). She’s been a part of guiding NC State to postseason invitations each year, including eight NCAA Tournament appearances, five Sweet 16 berths (2018, 21, 22, 24, 25), two Elite Eight appearances (2022, 24) and the program’s second Final Four (2024). With her assistance, the Pack has put together nine 20+ win campaigns, seven top-four ACC finishes and seven top-25 national finishes. Upon returning to the staff ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, West got back to work with the Wolfpack’s post players. She played a large role in the development of two-time ACC Tournament MVP, WNBA draftee and All-American center Elissa Cunane. That season, NC State repeated as ACC Tournament champion, went 22-3 (12-2 ACC) and finished the year with a Sweet 16 appearance and a program-best-tying No. 3 final ranking. A season later in 2021-22, West helped guide the Pack to its third-straight ACC Tournament title and its first regular-season and tournament crown

Simon Harris has made his return to Raleigh as an assistant coach for the NC State women’s basketball team. Harris, who was a letterwinner on the NC State men’s basketball team, was previously an assistant on Moore’s staff from 2018-20. While Harris was an assistant at NC State, the 2019-20 squad won the 2020 ACC Tournament title, marking the program’s first conference tournament championship since 1991. That team recorded a 28-4 record (14-4 in ACC) and finished eighth in the AP Top 25, its second straight year ending the season in the top 10 final rankings and its best AP poll finish since 1990-91. In Harris’ first season at NC State in 2018-19, that team advanced to its second consecutive NCAA Sweet 16 and achieved the longest winning streak in program history (21 games) with the best start in a season in school history (21-0). Following his first stint as an assistant coach in Raleigh, Harris served as an assistant coach at Ohio State from 2020-21, guiding the Buckeyes into one of the top offensive teams in the country, as OSU ranked ninth in the country in scoring and 20th in pace of play. Harris was the head coach of ETSU from 2021-22 and spent the last two seasons, 2023-25, on Loyola Chicago’s staff as an assistant coach. Harris also served as an assistant coach at Dayton with the women’s basketball program from 2014-18. The Flyers earned three NCAA Tournament appearances, one Elite Eight showing (2015), four postseason berths and a combined 87-39 record. Prior to work
