Everett Norris Case (June 21, 1900 – April 30, 1966), nicknamed the "Old Gray Fox",[1] was a basketball coach most notable for his tenure at North Carolina State University, from 1946 to 1964.

Case is one of only five coaches to win at least 4 state titles in Indiana basketball (the others being Marion Crawley, Glenn M. Curtis, and Jack Keefer with 4 and Bill Green with 6).

N.C. State had already begun construction on Reynolds Coliseum in 1941, but all work stopped during World War II.

From 1949 to 1960, it also hosted the Dixie Classic, a holiday tournament that quickly ascended to the top of the state's sporting calendar.

For example, in his first year in Raleigh, the fire marshal canceled a game because people were spilling onto the floor of tiny Thompson Gymnasium and climbing in through windows.

The other three schools along Tobacco Road--Duke, North Carolina and Wake Forest—responded by upgrading their facilities and recruiting budgets to counter the "red menace" in Raleigh.

[5] The NCAA, however, found that Case not only knew about the gifts to Moreland—which included a seven-year medical education—but expressly approved them.

He soon needed to use a wheelchair; when the Wolfpack won the 1965 ACC tournament, they wheeled him over from press row so he could cut the last strand of the net.

Case instructed that his body be laid facing US Highway 70 so he could "wave" to later Wolfpack teams as they traveled to Durham and Chapel Hill.
