NC State Set To Hire A New Women's Basketball Coach

According to OSG sources in Raleigh, N.C. North Carolina State will hire Kellie Harper as the new women's basketball head coach for the Wolfpack.

NC State has called a press conference for 4:30pm eastern tomorrow to introduce Harper.

Harper has spent the last 5 seasons as head coach at Western Carolina were she has led the Catamounts to a pair of Southern Conference titles along with 2 NCAA tournament appearances.

Those sources also tell OSG Sports that Harper's hiring is not sitting well with some in the Wolfpack family including Kay Yow's brother Ronnie Yow who says her late sister wanted her top assistant, Stephanie Glance, to succeed her.

Ronnie Yow even produced a letter written by his late sister to NC State Chancellor James L. Oblinger and athletic director Lee Fowler 2 years ago expressing her wishes.
