  • Mark Price UNC Charlotte 49Ers Basketball Coach
    REPORTER January 17, 2017 Mark Price UNC Charlotte 49ers Basketball Coach Elly Clary introduced Mark Price, the head basketball coach at UNC Charlotte. Elly said that Mark is a person Elly fully expects to make history for the Charlotte 49ers men’s basketball team. He shows strong signs of restoring the program to the top levels of NCAA competition. Since the program’s inception, UNC Charlotte basketball has enjoyed extended stretches of impressive success. In the 1960s, they manufactured our memories in the NAIA. They jumped to NCAA Division I in 1970 and by 1977 they competed in the Final Four. The 1990s and early 2000s brought regular appearances for the 49ers in the NCAA and NIT tournaments. But then they fell on hard times. In the last eight seasons, UNC Charlotte played in the postseason only once. They are on the way back, though, thanks to Coach Price. They still don’t win as often as they’d like but the team is definitely fun to watch. And much more success seems their destiny. According to Elly, why wouldn’t it be? Mark Price has succeeded every place he’s been. He starred at Georgia Tech and led the Yellow Jackets to the ACC championship. He played 12 years in the NBA and made the all-star team four times. The Cleveland Cavaliers retired his jersey. Recently, while Mark was assistant coach for the Charlotte Hornets, you might recall he fixed Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s jump shot. MKG was appreciative enough to attend the news conference when we announced Mark as our new head coach – even though it meant Kidd-Gilchrist had to take a separate flight to a Hornets away game.
