From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles "Chuck" Lee Evans (born December 12, 1971 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a retired American professional basketball player, and current coach of British team Worcester Wolves.

A 1.80 m tall point guard, Evans led the 1994-95 Euroleague in assists with 6.2 per game. At the time he was playing for Russian club CSKA Moscow. Later he played in Germany with the Bayer Giants Leverkusen and Alba Berlin. In 2007, he signed for British Basketball League side Worcester Wolves, joining the club at the same time as fellow Americans James Life and Anthony Paez. As starting point guard that year, he recorded two triple doubles, in back-to-back home games, and was widely thought of as the best creative point guard in the BBL and received an honourable mention for Player of the Month in March 2008. At the end of the season, he moved to rival BBL side Everton Tigers, for whom he played for one season before returning to coach Worcester Wolves. He is also writing a regular column for the local newspaper, the Worcester Evening News.

In Dec 2009 Evans resigned from Worcester Wolves after news of a racist rant during a training session was released to the press. The players targeted by his rants were going to pursue legal action against Evans.
