CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte 49ers men's basketball program held their first practice for the 2018-19 season today. This marked the 49ers first practice under the guidance of head coach Ron Sanchez.
This past March, Coach Sanchez, who was considered one of the top assistant coaches in the country, became the 11th head coach in the 49ers men's basketball program's history. He came to Charlotte after spending the last 12 years as a member of three-time National Coach of the Year Tony Bennett's staff as they built Washington State and Virginia into national powers during their tenures.
