Brownell Bolts the CAA: UNC – Wilmington coach Brad Brownell has left the Seahawks’ sidelines to accept the coaching position at Wright State. Brownell led the Seahawks to a share of the Colonial Athletic Association regular-season title and the conference tournament championship. UNC – Wilmington entered the NCAA Tournament as a No. 9 seed before losing to No. 8 George Washington in the first round. In four seasons at the school, Brownell compiled an 83-40 record. He said he sought a new opportunity to continue to grow in his career. Wright State fired Paul Biancardi after the NCAA banned him from recruiting through 2007 because of his role in violations at Ohio State under former coach Jim O’Brien. [4/03/06]
