Charles Dunn Harrison (August 17, 1949 – April 13, 2020)[1] was an American college basketball coach who served as head coach at the University of New Mexico and East Carolina University.
He then held assistant positions with Clemson, Oklahoma and the National Basketball Association's Buffalo Braves.
[2] In 1979, following a second stint at Oklahoma, Harrison was hired as an assistant at New Mexico under head coach Norm Ellenberger.
However, right before the team's season opener Ellenberger was suspended and later fired following the revelation of an academic fraud scandal nicknamed “Lobogate.” Harrison was tapped as the new head coach and led the depleted team to a 6–22 record.
[3] After a two-year stint as an assistant at Iowa State under Johnny Orr, Harrison was named head coach at East Carolina (ECU).
