Wake Forest coach Steve Forbes confirmed on Monday, nearly a full month after his wife had a stroke, that he plans to lead the Demon Deacons this fall.
With the progress that she’s making, Steve said he plans to still be with Wake Forest during preseason practices, workouts and more as scheduled this fall.."First of all, I don't think that's what my wife would want. I don't think that would help her recover. I think she needs me to be doing what I'm doing. So we just had to work it out, a plan."
Johnetta was with their three children in Destin, Florida, last month when she had her stroke. Steve was in Kuwait at the time working with the basketball outreach program Operation Hardwood."She goes down [to Destin] a lot by herself," Steve said,."And I have a bad feeling that if she'd have been by herself, she might've just went back to bed."
Steve said he plans to split his time between Atlanta with his wife and Winston-Salem, North Carolina until Johnetta returns to their home near campus, too.via The Associated Press ."Now, that's after seeing her progress, right? Had she not, then maybe we'd be having a different conversation." Steve is preparing to enter his fourth season at Wake Forest this fall. They went 19-14 last season. The Deacons will start practice officially on Sept. 25, three days after Johnetta is set to go home, and then they’ll open the season on Nov. 6.
