***This is the first 10 minutes of The Forbes List, full episode available in link at the bottom of this description***

Steve Forbes, 60, the head men’s basketball coach at Wake Forest University. A native of Lone Tree, Iowa, and a graduate of Southern Arkansas University, Forbes arrived in Winston‑Salem on April 30, 2020 during the throes of COVID. At 55, Wake became his first power conference gig after decades of toiling in the junior college and assistant coaching ranks. He came to Wake after getting his first head D1 job at 50 when he won the East Tennessee job and promptly turned that program into a SoCon power. Forbes has worked for four Final Four coaches, has long been known as an elite recruiter, and is a fantastic storyteller. He joined the show from North Carolina and discussed a lifetime in the sport, what people don’t understand about Gregg Marshall, and the challenges of resurrecting a moribund program in an ACC that’s very different than the one he encountered upon arrival five years ago.
