April 26, 2006 MOSS ADDS BENSON TO SEAHAWK COACHING STAFF WILMINGTON, N.C. � Newly-hired head men�s basketball coach Benny Moss has announced the hiring of Chuck Benson as an assistant coach for the UNC Wilmington program. Benson, 37, served as UNC Charlotte�s Director of Basketball Operations last season following a 15-year stint as a head coach and assistant coach at six different schools. He begins his new post immediately. �Chuck will be a tremendous addition to our program,� said Moss, who was tapped as UNCW�s new skipper last Thursday. �He�s multi-talented and will play a key role in all aspects of the program. He�s a great recruiter, a real student of the game and a teacher of the game. Most importantly, he�s as good a person as he is a coach.� Success has followed Benson in his impressive coaching tour. He began his career as the boy�s varsity coach at Morristown (Tenn.) Covenant Academy and served as an assistant at Lincoln Memorial, Carson-Newman and Tennessee before accepting the head post at Martin Methodist. He rejoined the Vols for two seasons as an assistant coach before moving to UNCC last year. �I�m very excited about becoming part of the UNCW program,� said Benson, a native of Newport, Tenn. �Joining Coach Moss is especially exciting. We�re looking forward to maintaining the level of success on and off the floor that Seahawk fans are accustomed to.� In his coaching stops, Benson has been part of three NAIA Tournament teams and three National Invitation Tournament (NIT) clubs. In seven years as head of Martin Methodist�s program, the Redhawks compiled a 137-95 record, including a 110-55 mark the last five years. Overall, Benson has coached four All-Americans and been recognized nationally for his recruiting classes. Benson earned his Bachelor�s Degree in History from Carson-Newman in 1991 and completed his Master�s of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Lincoln Memorial in 1996.b |
