Head Coach Alan Major Fourth Season
Alan Major is in his fourth season as the 49ers head coach. The 49ers have improved their overall and con- ference wins totals in each of his first three seasons at Charlotte. Year one saw Major doing his best MacGyver impersonation, piece together a season that included wins over #7 Tennessee, at Georgia Tech and vs. Xavier. He did so with more than a shoestring and some paper clips, however. There was no lack of fight or imagination in a team that had as few as six scholarship players and played 29 of 30 games with eight scholarship players or less. The win over #7/#7 Tennessee gave the 49ers a win over a top 20 team for the fourth straight year. It was one of just three Top 10 wins by an Atlantic 10 team. The win at Georgia Tech, a double overtime thriller, was one of the team’s school-record overtime contests. The win over Xavier handed the A-10 regular-season champs their lone A-10 regular-season loss. During that first year, Major signed a Top 10 recruiting class among non-BCS schools, according to ESPN Senior Recruiting analyst Dave Telep. Year two of the Major era, the 49ers improved their overall and Atlantic 10 record. Charlotte defeated cross-county rival and 2012 NCAA Tournament participant Davidson. Pierria Henry, a member of the 49ers heralded recruiting class, earned Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team honors. Year three of the Major era, the 49ers captured the Great Alaska Shootout title and set the school-record for best start at 9-0. The 49ers defeated #10 Butler on the road as well. The 49ers won 21 games which marked the program’s first 20 wins season since 2007-08 and the first under Major. He guided the 49ers to their first postseason tournament appear- ance since 2008 with an NIT appearance. Henry earned A-10 All-Defen- About Major sive team honors. A member of his second recruiting class, Willie Clayton earned Atlantic 10 All-Rookie team honors. ALAN MAJOR Year four of the Major era, the 49ers captured the Puerto Rico Purdue Univ., 1992 Tip-Off title with wins over 2013 Big 12 Co-Champs Kansas State, 2013 CAA Champs Northeastern and 2013 National Runner-Up Michigan. Cal Lutheran, 1995 (Master’s - Physical Education) Success has followed head coach Alan Major on his college Charlotte Record: 50-50, 4 years coaching path. For the nine years prior to joining the 49ers, he worked Career Record: Same under Thad Matta at Ohio State (6 years) and Xavier (3 years). In those nine years, he participated in seven NCAA Tournaments, including three Sweet 16’s and one national championship game. COACHING Experience “He surrounds himself with good people and works hard to make 2010- - Charlotte 49ers Head Coach those around him better,” said Director of Athletics Judy Rose. “He’s been 50-50, 4 years: Top 10 wins over #7 Tennesee associated with winning programs for a long time.” Since his first year, Major’s foremost charge was to get to know and #10 Butler, Captured the 2012 Great his team. He encouraged visits and drop-ins. He took the time to talk. Alaska Shootout title, 2013 NIT Berth, Cap- Family. Academics. Ups. Downs. Inspiration. Before he could start to tured 2013 Puerto Rico Tip-Off Title build anything on the court, he knew he had to build a relationship off of it. “Alan comes from a strong background that includes success at 2004-10 - Ohio State Assistant Coach the highest level,” said Rose. “But just as important as the impressive cre- 156-54, 6 years, 4 NCAA Tournaments dentials of great players and teams he has been a part of is the great en- 2007 NCAA Championship Game ergy he exhibits and the genuine care he shows for his players. He wants to develop student-athletes not only in basketball but in life. He wants them 2008 NIT Champions to meet their individual goals while working on the team’s goals. He is a 2010 NCAA Sweet Sixteen people person and a basketball junkie. We have heard from any number 2001-04 - Xavier Assistant Coach of individuals from all facets of the game of basketball and we were su- premely impressed with the level of respect Alan has earned at every turn.” 78-23; 3 years; 3 NCAA Tournaments Major has an 18-year assistant coaching background, including 2004 NCAA Elite Eight stints at Pacific, Southern Illinois and Cal Lutheran. A native of Indianapo- 1999-01 - Pacific Assistant Coach lis, Major graduated from Purdue in 1992. While at Purdue, Major served as a manager for Gene Keady’s Boilermakers.

III Tournaments Major was instrumental in the recruitment and development of such players as Greg Oden, Mike Conley, Daequan Cook, Kosta Koufos and Evan Turner at Ohio State. All were NBA first round draft choices while Turner swept the 2010 National Player of the Year awards, including the Wooden Award, the Naismith Trophy and the USBWA, Associated Press and NABC Player of the Year awards. Prior to his time at Ohio State, Major coached NBA first round choice David West at Xavier and NBA No. 1 draft choice Michael Olowokandi at Pacific. “I’ve been really impressed by Alan’s clear philosophy when it comes to recruitment and scheduling. He believes that it is necessary to build a program rather than merely field a team,” said UNC Charlotte Chancellor Dr. Philip Dubois. In his three seasons at Xavier, the Musketeers went 78-23 with three NCAA appearances, including a trip to the Elite Eight in 2004. He coached for a total of five seasons at Pacific, and helped the Tigers to the 1997 NCAA Tournament. He coached for one season at Southern Illinois under current Illinois head coach Bruce Weber. His career began at Cal Lutheran where he helped the Kingsmen to a 61-22 record in three seasons, including trips to the NCAA Div. III Tournament in 1993 and 1994. Coaching Staff
Desmond Oliver Assistant Coach Fourth Season Desmond Oliver is in his fourth year as assistant coach at Charlotte. Oliver has spent seven years on the coaching staff of three schools that have played in the Atlantic 10 Conference: St. Bonaventure, Rhode Island and Charlotte. In those seven years, he helped those schools make four NIT appearances. He helped rebuild programs at both Rhode Island and Charlotte. Oliver also spent five years on the coaching staff at the University of Georgia where he played an integral role in helping the Bulldogs improve in each of its first four years on their way to NIT (2007) and NCAA Tournament (2008) appearances. In 2008, Oliver was also on the staff during one of the most memorable confer- ence tournament runs in history when Georgia won two games on the same day en route to an SEC Championship.
