Arizona associate head coach Joe Pasternack is interviewing for the vacant UNC Wilmington job, according to WCET Sports of Wilmington, N.C.

Pasternack's name has already surfaced twice for jobs at Cal (in 2014 and 2017), while he also attracted interest from UNLV last year. Pasternack has head coaching experience at the University of New Orleans and is a well-respected recruiter with strong ties in California and Europe.

Earlier this month, Kevin Keatts left Wilmington to become the head coach at N.C. State after leading the Seahawks to two straight NCAA Tournaments.
