Posted Feb 20, 2019
Basketball is a way of life for former UNCW basketball coach Buzz Peterson. Peterson was let go in 2014 after four seasons as the Seahawks head coach. It didn’t take long to find a new job. Peterson’s roommate in college at North Carolina, Michael Jordan, hired him to work for the Charlotte Hornets, and he worked his way up to assistant general manager.
