Biography

Education

Gaudio is a graduate of Ohio University (1981) and Xavier University (master's in Secondary Education, 1991).

Wake Forest

Gaudio remained loyal to Prosser, his mentor and predecessor at Wake Forest. In the final days of his life, Prosser attended the games of three 5-star recruits in Las Vegas and Orlando. These recruits remained committed to Wake Forest and made up an eventual number three-ranked recruiting class for the 2008-2009 season, signed by Gaudio as a memory to Prosser.

On April 7, 2010, Gaudio was fired as head coach at Wake Forest.

Gaudio became an announcer for ESPN's college basketball coverage in 2011.
