He replaces longtime Whirlies coach Darren Corbett, who accepted an assistant coaching position on the men’s basketball staff at A&T, where his father formerly served as head coach.Griffis, a graduate of Raleigh Athens Drive, walked on to the A&T men’s basketball team before earning a scholarship his sophomore year. He played for Corbett’s father, Don Corbett, and helped lead the Aggies to four consecutive NCAA tournament appearances and MEAC championships from 1985-88. Don Corbett, who racked up a 254-145 overall record in 14 seasons with the Aggies, left the program in 1993.
