Albany, NY (My Sportsbook) - Carlos Knox has been named the head coach of the
Pittsburgh Xplosion for the 2007-08 season.
"We feel that Carlos will be an asset to our organization," Xplosion CEO
Richard Hersperger said. "He will do an excellent job in preparing our players
for the challenges of the CBA season."
Knox began his coaching career at IUPUI in 2001 and helped lead his alma mater
to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003 as an assistant. He then
guided the CBA's Indiana Alley Cats to a 23-25 record last year after serving
as an assistant to the team in 2005-06.
Knox also played professionally in the NBA with the Indiana Pacers and
internationally in Croatia, Germany and Venezuela, before a knee injury ended
his career.
"I'm very excited about the opportunity to coach the Xplosion," Knox said.
"Pittsburgh has the atmosphere and the facilities to compete and win in the
CBA. It's now about establishing a foundation and a winning attitude."
Knox replaces former head coach Jaren Jackson, who left to pursue other
opportunities after Pittsburgh's 10-38 finish in its inaugural season. |
