GREENSBORO, NC - North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University has announced that it will immediately launch a national
search for a new head men's basketball coach.
The announcement was made by N.C. A&T Athletic Director Charles Davis.
Head basketball coach Curtis Hunter was released from his position Monday
morning according to Davis.
"The A&T Athletics Department thanks Coach Hunter for the efforts he has
put forth during the past four seasons," Davis said. "We thank him for
the leadership and integrity he has displayed both on and off the
court."
"In making this change in our basketball program, we will vigorously
pursue a change in direction, leadership, ideas and expectations, that
we believe are necessary to bring to our alumni and supporters ... a
team that will year-in and year-out be a contender for the MEAC crown
and post-season play."
A screening committee, led by Associate Athletic Director Wheeler Brown,
has been appointed and hopes to fill the position soon.
Basketball recruiting efforts during the interim period will be
coordinated by Davis.
