March 26 is becoming an important date for Charlotte basketball.
On this date in 2015, Mark Price was introduced as the tenth basketball coach in Charlotte history. A year later, Price denied his alma mater, Georgia Tech, from becoming the fourteenth coach in their history.
Price released a statement of loyalty to the Charlotte program and luck to Georgia Tech in their search for the next Yellow Jackets head coach.
