Wellman inherited coach Dave Odom as men’s basketball coach, who had an incredible run of success. The hire of Skip Prosser was universally applauded and Wake had a streak of playing in either the NCAA or NIT Tournament in 16-straight seasons with those two coaches. That run extended to 18-out-of-20 during the Dino Gaudio years. It was just a little more than 10 years ago where Gaudio’s were ranked No. 1 in the nation with a team comprised of Al-Farouq Aminu, Gary Clark, James Johnson, Ish Smith, Jeff Teague and L.D. Williams.
Just. Ten. Years. Ago.
