Former Coastal Carolina, USC basketball player killed in a car accident

Former Coastal Carolina University standout basketball player Chad Gray was killed in a car accident on Wednesday in Charlotte, N.C.

Gray, 32, was a two-time First Team All-Big South Conference honoree during his two seasons in Conway in 2009-10 and 2010-11.

“It’s a sad day for Coastal Carolina and its men’s basketball program,” CCU head coach Cliff Ellis said. “Chad loved his team and helped Coastal Carolina make the transition onto the national scene, playing a significant role in wins over LSU and Clemson during his tenure. We loved Chad with all of our heart and soul, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
