49ers Hire Rob Perron as Director of Basketball Operations
June 15, 2006
Charlotte, NC - Charlotte 49ers head men's basketball coach Bobby Lutz has announced the hiring of Rob Perron as Director of Basketball Operations. Perron, who most recently served as Associate Head Coach at Pfeiffer University, replaces Chuck Benson, who was hired as an assistant coach at UNC Wilmington by former 49er assistant Benny Moss.
The hiring of Perron completes a busy spring for Lutz, who hired Rob Moxley as Associate Head Coach and Chris Cheeks as an assistant coach.
"Rob is an excellent addition to our staff having had head coaching experience for three years in addition to many years as an assistant," Lutz said. "With his organizational skills and experience working with a budget, he will certainly be abe to handle the administrative duties and make our staff work that much more efficiently. We're lucky to have him."
A 1996 graduate of St. Andrews College, Perron was the Associate Head Coach at Pfeiffer this past season after spending three years (2003-05) as the head coach at his alma mater. He was an assistant at Pfeiffer for three seasons (2000-02) and at St. Andrews (1997-99). He began his coaching career at St. Andrews as a student assistant in 1995-96.
A team captain and team MVP at St. Andrews, Perron scored over 1,100 points with over 700 rebounds in his four-year playing career that included two years at Normandale Community College in Minnesota.
"I think I went from one of the greatest coaches in Division II basketball to one of the greatest coaches in Division I basketball," Perron said. "I understand Bobby's vision and I think I can help Charlotte sustain success in a very good Atlantic 10 Conference."
