May 14, 2004 - American Basketball Association (ABA)
Charlotte Krunk News Release


Charlotte, NC. Tony Priscaro, ABA Carolina Thunder CEO, today announced that Brian Rowsom has accepted the position as Head Coach of the new pro basketball team scheduled to begin play in November.

Priscaro stated, "We interviewed many prospects for our Head Coach position and found no one with the knowledge of the game and the ability to identify quality talent and team than Brian. We have no doubt that he will put together a very good team."

Rowsom, a graduate of UNC Wilmington in 1987 was drafted in the 2nd round by the NBA Indiana Pacers (along with Reggie Miller) and played there before joining the Charlotte Hornets. He also played in France, Israel, Japan and England and retired after the 1998 season to start Global Basketball Services which provides agent services for players seeking to play pro ball overseas and in the US. Rowsom has placed over 85 players world wide in professional leagues.

Rowsom added, "We've been doing free agent camps in North Carolina for several years. The talent in this area is remarkable; the players available from Duke, NC, NC State, Wake Forest and other area schools is great. And of course, our tryout camps draw outstanding players from throughout the world. You won't believe some of the players we have coming into our June 12 and 13 tryout camp."
