The team at Inside Carolina has full coverage of who is coming and who is going on the North Carolina basketball roster. A source told The Clarion Ledger on April 2 that Jackson State had offered Reed a four-year deal worth $1 million to remain at the school, two days after her contract expired. She coached the past four years on a deal that paid her an average of $135,000 per season. The Charlotte Business Journal reported in October 2023 that Charlotte was paying Consuegra $269,100 per season.

On November 12, 2019, Charlotte won back the Hornets Nest, winning 71-58, and snapping a 6 game losing streak. Jackson State will begin a national search immediately for her replacement, Jackson State sports information director Travis Jarome said. The Vols have one incoming signee in four-star guard Bishop Boswell out of Myers Park in Charlotte, North Carolina. Tennessee had three scholarships open with outgoing seniors Josiah-Jordan James, Dalton Knecht, and Santiago Vescovi. Four more opened with junior forward Jonas Aidoo, sophomore forward Tobe Awaka and redshirt freshmen guards Freddie Dilione V and D.J. Former Charlotte forward Igor Milicic Jr. is transferring to Tennessee basketball, a source confirmed to Knox News on Monday.

The 49ers should continue their defensive attack by putting pressure on the Panthers' offensive attack. Inducing a higher rate of turnovers will help the 49ers have more opportunities down the stretch. Along with Freeman, Kentrell Pullian saw double figures at 10 points in the contest.

After Bill Foster left for Clemson, Lee Rose was hired as the head coach in 1975. Rose inherited a team coming off of two 20-win seasons and led them to the NIT championship game in his first year. The following season the 49ers became a charter member of the Sun Belt Conference. After Watkins left for Texas A&M, Charlotte named Bobby Lutz its new head coach. Lutz was an assistant under both Watkins and Jeff Mullins at Charlotte.

They have also earned regular and post-season championships in three different conferences, as well as a victory in the College Basketball Invitational (CBI) in 2023.

Lutz accepted the head coaching job at Gardner–Webb in 1995 only to resign two weeks later to accept the assistant job at his alma mater on Mullin's staff. In what would be Mullins' last season, Charlotte went 14–15 in 1995–1996, finishing tied for 6th in the league. Mullins retired following that season as the all-time winningest coach in school history with 182 wins and also had more postseason appearances than all previous coaches combined. The basketball team has spent the better part of its history in the shadow of the state's four Atlantic Coast Conference teams. However, the 49ers have carved out a niche of their own, making 11 appearances in the NCAA tournament. In their first appearance, in 1977, they advanced all the way to the Final Four—at the time, the deepest run for a first-time tournament participant.

The team were led by fourth-year head coach Ron Sanchez, and played their home games at Dale F. Halton Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina as members of Conference USA. The 2004–2005 season would see the 49ers return to the top 25 behind eventual CUSA Player of the Year Eddie Basden, he would also win CUSA Defensive POY for the second straight season.

A Charlotte win would be the program's 13th all-time victory in postseason play. Charlotte would defeat Tennessee in the first round of the Midwest Regional before falling to #1 seed Illinois in the round of 32.

The early season schedule was highlighted by a 49–48 victory over #7 ranked Tennessee and a 2OT win at Georgia Tech. The three-year postseason drought had been the longest for the program since Jeff Mullins took over in 1985. Following Rose's departure, Mike Pratt, an assistant under Rose at Charlotte, was named the head coach for the 1978–1979 season.

Richmond was called for three technical fouls, one non-shooting foul and one shooting foul in that time.[10] The 49ers followed this with a blowout loss to St. Louis in the 2nd round.
