University of Tennessee at Chattanooga athletic director Rick Hart is convinced the men’s basketball program is on an “uptick.”
“From where I sit, it is absolutely,” Hart said. “I don’t see where, how, you can’t not think that.”
UTC coach John Shulman watches the UNC Greensboro game at McKenzie Arena.The Mocs’ season ended Saturday night in the quarterfinals of the Southern Conference tournament with a 61-52 loss to Furman in McKenzie Arena. They finished 16-16 overall, but their 12-6 regular-season mark in SoCon games earned them a share of the North Division championship.
“It depends on how you want to look at it,” coach John Shulman said. “You can see 16 and 16, or 12 and 6. You can see it however you want to look at it.”
Having concluded his seventh season, Shulman is under contract for three more years with an annual salary of $138,000. Hart has the option of extending Shulman’s contract or leaving it intact.
