Both our men’s and women’s basketball coaches (Bobby Cremins and Nancy Wilson) have logged more than 500 victories in their careers, making them one of 25 active coaches on the Division I level in the U.S. who can make that claim in their respective sport. Along with the women’s volleyball team, their squads play at home in the 5,100-seat TD Arena which has hosted 14 all-time sellout crowds since its opening in 2008.
Of course, not everyone attending the College of Charleston will play on a Division I NCAA athletic team, but you can participate in any of almost two dozen intramural and club sports from Aikido to Ultimate Frisbee.
