CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Charlotte 49ers fired head basketball coach Aaron Fearne on Tuesday after he went 47-51 in three seasons at the helm.
Charlotte was 17-17 this season and lost 86-64 to South Florida in the semifinals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. The 49ers finished tied for fifth in the regular season AAC standings with a 9-9 record.
After going 19-12 in Fearne’s first season in 2023-24, the 49ers lost several players through the transfer portal and were 11-22 the following season.
Charlotte director of athletics Kevin White said “while difficult, making a head coaching change is necessary to allow for greater success.”
White said a search for Fearne’s replacement will begin immediately.
