The University of North Carolina- Charlotte has hired their new head coach of the basketball program, Mark Price. Basketball purists will know Price as one of the best sharp shooters in NBA history, but the younger generation may not have a clue about the former 4-time NBA All-Star. Price, 51, is currently an assistant coach with the Charlotte Hornets, so at least he won’t have to change his address. Price will replace former head coach Alan Major who parted ways with the school last week after five seasons in which he was in & out of action due to medical reasons. Price signed a 5-year deal himself in an attempt to turn around the 49ers program.
