NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

04/27/2010 - Charleston, SC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Citadel has named Maryland assistant Chuck Driesell as its next men's head basketball coach.

Driesell recently completed his fourth season on Gary Williams' staff at Maryland and becomes the 28th head coach at The Citadel. He takes over for Ed Conroy, who was head coach for the last four seasons.

"We are excited about the future of Bulldog Basketball as we welcome Chuck Driesell and his family to The Citadel," said athletics director Larry Leckonby. "He has an outstanding reputation of developing skilled athletes and being a top-notch recruiter. Having served as a lieutenant in the United States Navy, it is no doubt that his leadership skills will attract and produce principled leaders on and off the court."

Driesell served as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Georgetown University in 2003-04 and spent six seasons as head coach at Marymount University (Division III) from 1997-2003 where he guided the Saints to an 88-72 mark. In 1999-2000, he led Marymount to the Capital Athletic Conference Tournament Championship and its first Division III NCAA Tournament appearance.

A former hoops player at Maryland, Driesell also served as assistant athletics director at Marymount from 1999-2003.
