Anthony Goins joined the NC State men's basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach in April 2026.
Goins comes to NC State after spending the last two seasons at Georgia where he helped lead the Bulldogs to the NCAA Tournament in each season.
Goins helped lead a Georgia offense that averaged 89.4 points per game last season, ranking fifth nationally among NCAA Division I teams in scoring. The Bulldogs’ up-tempo attack also led all Division I programs in fast-break production, averaging 19.8 transition points per game.
In the 2024-25 season, Georgia faced one of the nation’s most challenging schedules as the Bulldogs played nearly 60 percent of its game against teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament, including a nation-best eight top-10 matchups in the regular season. Despite facing the tough schedule, Georgia won 20 games to advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015.
Prior to his arrival in Athens, Goins spent the past three seasons at Boston College. He also sports stints on the staffs at Clemson, Quinnipiac, Yale and Dartmouth over the last 11 years.
Boston College has increased its win total during each of Goins’ season with the Eagles, culminating with a 20-16 finish and a bid to the NIT in 2024. Boston College reached the round of 16 in the NIT and in the process secured the Eagles’ first 20-win campaign and first postseason victory since 2011.
Goins was an assistant coach at Clemson for two seasons from 2019-21, helping the Tigers secure a bid to the 2021 NCAA Tournament. While at Clemson, he oversaw the development of the Tigers' backcourt standouts Tevin Mack, Al-Amir Dawes and Nick Honor.
From 2017-19, Goins was on the staff at Quinnipiac. During the 2018-19 season, the Bobcats finished 16-15 to notch their first winning record in five years. Quinnipiac also received a bid to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament (CIT) in 2019, just QU’s fifth postseason appearance ever. Goins helped to develop three all-conference guards for the Bobcats, including first-team All-MAAC selection Cameron Young.
Goins enjoyed a trio of successful seasons at Yale from 2014-17. The Bulldogs finished 22-10 overall and 11-3 in his year in New Haven to secure the Bulldogs’ first Ivy League title since 2002. Yale improved to 23-7 overall and 13-1 in league play during the 2015-16 campaign, both school-record win totals. The Bulldogs won the Ivy League championship outright to garner the program’s first NCAA Tournament bid in 54 years. Yale, a No. 12 seed, then upset fifth-seeded Baylor in first round of “March Madness,” the first NCAA victory ever for the Bulldogs.
Goins’ collegiate career began at Dartmouth in 2013-14, where he helped the Big Green to their highest win total in 15 seasons.
Goins also spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Salisbury Prep School in Connecticut, which compiled a combined 64-18 record during his tenure.
Originally from Greensboro, N.C., Goins graduated from Oscar Smith High School in Chesapeake, Va. He received his bachelor’s degree in Sports Management from St. John’s in 2008. While an undergrad, Goins served as a practice player for the men’s team and helped with women’s practices as well.
Goins and his wife, Stephanie, have two children: a son, Anthony “Trey”; and a daughter, Reese.
