One of the very few "Father-Son" Coach /Player combinations in all of collegiate athletics and surely a rare coincidence in college basketball. Chuck concludes playing for his Father "Lefty" and the Terrapins on the team that will defend the ACC championship they won for his Dad last year, winning the title over his alma mater, Duke . . . The veteran back-up guard used sparingly, hopes to play a great deal more this season so that he can make a lasting contribution to his and the teams' efforts to give his Dad the 500th win of this, his 25th year as a head coach ... He now has 480 career victories ... As the son of a basketball coach, the popular "Chuckie", as his thousands of delirious fans call him, was 7 years old when his Dad brought him from Charlotte and Davidson College to College Park . . . For the Terps, he played in 1 2 games his freshman year, 1 7 his second year and 1 5 last year . . . His 3-year scoring total is 69 points, with 34 of them scored last season ... He has appeared in 44 games ... His career high scoring for a game is 8, three times . . . The last was in the 1984 NCAA Mideast Regional against West Virginia when he hit on all 3 shots from the floor and was 2-2 from the line ... In playing a season high of 7 minutes, he also had 2 rebounds and an assist . . . These 3 field goals and 2 foul shots for 8 points and an assist in 7 minutes is 8 points and 1 assist more than his Dad ever got in the NCAA's, Duke never being able to scratch past NC State in the ancient days when only the ACC champion advanced to the NCAA's ... He hit 8 points against UMES his soph year then against last year's Johns Hopkins opener . . . During the summer of '84, he toured South America with the Athletes in Action ... He had a seven point scoring average for 1 8 games. . . . The tour included six games in Mexico, five in Peru and eight in Brazil ... A Business and Marketing major, Chuck spent last spring semester as an intern with the Baltimore Orioles, assisting and learning the operations of the marketing, promotions, and public relations departments . . . From nearby Springbrook High, Chuck led the team in scoring as they won the County AA title ... He had 458 points for a 1 7.6 scoring average his senior year ... He was an All-County selection as he scored in double figures in 24 of 26 games. His career high was 29 points.
