Former UNC national champion Kevin Salvadori enjoying being an assistant coach at Belmont Abbey

Posted Jan 13, 2016
When Belmont Abbey hosts Southern Wesleyan on Wednesday, they’ll have a former NCAA champion and NBA player on their side. But that’s not the only reason you’ll notice Kevin Salvadori on the Crusaders’ sideline. The 7-footer who helped UNC to the 1993 NCAA title clearly stands out among his fellow coaches – and even players. (Gaston Gazette)
