Goal of new Charlotte AD Mike Hill: Find men's basketball coach

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Mike Hill says his first goal as UNC Charlotte's new athletic director will be to find a new men's basketball coach.

Hill said during an introductory news conference on Tuesday that he has informed interim coach Houston Fancher -- who took over midseason when Mark Price was fired -- that he will be making a change.

Hill was hired Feb. 28 to replace Judy Rose, who resigned after 43 years at Charlotte. He told fans and alumni, "We need to give you a program that makes you want to come here."

Hill previously served as an executive associate athletics director for external affairs at Florida.
