Lindsay Edmonds has completed eight seasons on the coaching staff of the NC State women's basketball program.
After six seasons as an assistant coach, Edmonds was elevated to associate head coach prior to the start of the 2019-20 campaign. She has been a part of Moore's coaching staff for all of his eight seasons in Raleigh. Together, they have helped the Wolfpack achieve a 190-65 record (89-39 in ACC games), five NCAA Tournament appearances and three NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 berths (2018, 2019, 2021).
Edmonds helped Moore guide the Pack to back-to-back ACC Tournament titles for the first time in program history. In 2019-20, the squad posted a 28-4 overall record and a 14-4 clip in ACC play as it compiled the most single-season conference wins in program history. That team finished eighth in the Associated Press Top 25, its second top-10 final ranking in a row and its best in the final AP poll since 1990-91. NC State then achieved its third-straight top-10 final ranking with a No. 3 finish in 2020-21 after a 22-3 (12-2 ACC) record and a Sweet 16 appearance.
The past four seasons, Edmonds has helped lead NC State to some of the best results in 47 years of women's basketball at the university. In 2017-18, the Wolfpack won 26 games and returned to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. The 2018-19 team finished the season ranked ninth in the final USA Today Coaches Poll.

In her first season at NC State (2013-14), Edmonds helped lead the Pack to a 25-8 record, a fourth-place finish in the ACC standings and an NCAA Tournament appearance. After an 18-15 campaign in 2014-15 and a 20-11 season in 2015-16, Edmonds helped guide the Pack to the NCAA Tournament second round in 2016-17 with an impressive 23-9 (12-4 ACC) record. That season, she also helped author upsets of four top-15 teams: No. 2 Notre Dame, at No. 6 Florida State, No. 12 Duke and at No. 9 Louisville.
Edmonds worked closely with 2014 WNBA Draft picks Markeisha Gatling (first round) and Kody Burke (third round). During the 2013-14 season, she helped Gatling become the nation's most accurate shooter from Dec. 20, 2013 until the end of the season and helped the Wolfpack's star center achieve an 81 percent increase in scoring output from the prior season (9.6 points per game to 17.4 points per game).

In her four seasons with the Dukes, the squad won two Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) championships, played in two NCAA Tournaments and made two WNIT appearances.
