Charlotte has fired former NBA standout Mark Price after two-plus seasons, the school announced Thursday.
Price had a 30-42 mark since taking over the 49ers program, including a 16-20 record in Conference USA play. Charlotte is 3-6 this season.
Assistant coach Houston Fancher will take over on an interim basis.
"We appreciate all that coach Price has done for our program," athletic director Judy Rose said in a statement. "His background and knowledge were assets to our young players and we appreciate him sharing his talents with our team. This was a difficult decision, especially as we make plans to open conference play, but we do feel it is in the best interest of our basketball program.
