Head Coach C.B. McGrathColin Bryan (C.B.) McGrath, an assistant coach on The University of North Caro-lina’s 2005, 2009 and 2017 national championship teams, was named the 11th men’s basketball history in UNCW history on April 3, 2017.

In his fi rst season on the coast, McGrath piloted the Seahawks to an 11-21 record and sixth place fi nish in the Colonial Athletic Association, fashioning an 8-5 home mark and reaching the semifi nals of the CAA Tournament.

A native of Indianapolis, McGrath, 42, spent 14 seasons with Hall of Fame Coach Roy Williams at North Carolina. He lettered four years as a point guard under Wil-liams at Kansas and served on his staff in Lawrence for four years before moving with his mentor to the Tar Heel state.

McGrath is recognized as one of the nation’s foremost recruiters and bench coach-es. In addition, McGrath oversaw UNC’s clinics and coached the junior varsity team in Chapel Hill.

McGrath’s association with Williams goes back to his days as a walk-on player at Kansas. McGrath earned a scholarship before the start of his freshman season and was a top reserve behind First-Team All-American Jacque Vaughn 27354in 1994-95 and Ryan Robertson as a senior.

The Jayhawks did not lose a home game during McGrath’s time in Lawrence, going a perfect 58-0 during his career.

A tri-captain for KU in 1997-98 and a two-time Academic All-Big 12 selection, Mc-Grath appeared in 112 games for the Jayhawks, scoring 82 points, with 35 steals and 113 assists, including a better than 2:1 assist-turnover ratio. McGrath’s fi rst col-legiate bucket was a three-pointer at N.C. State’s Reynolds Coliseum.

McGrath is one of 20 members of his family who attended Kansas.

Overall, McGrath has served on Williams’ staff in seven Final Four appearances, including the last two with the Tar Heels. McGrath was an assistant coach on UNC’s 2005, 2009 and 2017 NCAA Championship teams.

“I’m extremely happy for C.B. and for UNCW,” said Williams. “I’ve known C.B. since he was 17-years-old and I’ve worked with him for the last 19 years. He is undoubt-edly one of the fi nest young coaches in all of college basketball. He has a tremen-dous work ethic, an excellent rapport with the players, is organized and capable of laughing at himself – and all of those skills help make a successful coach. I’m truly sad he is leaving our basketball program, but I am so proud of him and happy he is going to Wilmington. I know he is going to do a great job there.UNCW“I’m extremely happy for C.B. and for

“We have been fortunate to win three national championships in 14 years at Caro-lina and C.B. has been very instrumental in every phase of the game in helping us win those championships.”

McGrath was a multi-sport standout at Topeka West High School and earned a total of 13 varsity letters in basketball, cross country, track and fi eld and golf from 1991-94. He was named the Kansas Basketball Player-of-the-Year as a senior, placed in the top-10 in the state in cross country and golf and was inducted into the Topeka West High School Hall of Fame in 2001.

McGrath earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Human Biology from the University of Kansas in 1998 and completed his Master’s Degree in Education at KU in 2000.
