Wake Forest’s women’s basketball program unveiled a sweeping overhaul of its coaching staff this week, signaling a decisive push to align with the evolving landscape of college basketball.
Head coach Megan Gebbia outlined the new assignments, naming Emily Stallings as the team’s Offensive Coordinator, Nikki Flores as Chief of Recruiting and Operations, Teren Hart as Assistant Coach/Player Development and Recruit Experience Coordinator, and Joey White as Assistant Coach/Analytics and Scouting Coordinator.
Why the timing matters
Gebbia emphasized that the restructuring arrives at a pivotal moment, as recent realignments across the sport have reshaped recruiting pipelines and tactical approaches, giving the Demon Deacons a fresh framework to compete.
Stallings brings a deep reservoir of offensive expertise, having spent years dissecting game film and designing schemes that have consistently ranked among the nation’s most efficient.
Flores, renowned for cultivating extensive recruiting networks both at home and abroad, will now channel that talent pool into the program’s day‑to‑day operations, aiming to secure top prospects for the future.
Hart’s focus will shift to player development, overseeing practice dynamics, film sessions, and the management of a core group of practice athletes who simulate upcoming opponents.
White, who has been part of the staff since the 2022‑23 academic year and most recently served as Director of Analytics and Player Personnel, will now lead video analysis, scouting reports, and the coordination of student managers and analytics interns.
Together, these roles are designed to create a more integrated coaching ecosystem, where on‑court strategy, recruitment, and data‑driven insights intersect to elevate the program’s competitiveness.
The reshaped staff reflects a broader ambition to blend traditional coaching strengths with modern analytical rigor, positioning Wake Forest to stay ahead in a rapidly changing conference landscape.
