Charlotte men’s basketball coach Sanchez resigns after winning CBI title
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Ron Sanchez has resigned as head coach of the Charlotte 49ers men’s basketball team. Sanchez took over the 49ers on March 19, 2018, inheriting a team coming off a 6-23 campaign. In five years the 49ers went 72-78 under Sanchez, highlighted by 22 wins this past season and a College Basketball Invitational championship. It was the Niners’ first-ever post-season tournament title. The 22 wins are the most for Charlotte since 2001. Charlotte director of athletics Mike Hill said a national search for Sanchez’s replacement has begun.
