Charles Hardnett (Men's Basketball Athletic Director/Coach) coached at Coppin State College from 1968 to 1974. Hardnett, a former NBA player who played for the Chicago Zephers and Baltimore Bullets, began his coaching career at Coppin as a part-time coach in 1968. He became full-time coach in 1970. This was a turning point for athletics at Coppin—other sports would soon commence; thus, the beginning of an intercollegiate athletics program. Under Hardnett's tutelage the Eagles were Potomac Inter-Collegiate Conference (PIC) regular season champions in 1972 and 1973; in 1974 they were tournament champions.
