This Jan. 27 file photo shows Charlotte basketball coach Bobby Lutz reacting to a call in a game against Temple in Charlotte. Charlotte fired coach Bobby Lutz after his 12th year was marred by a late-season collapse and a costly blunder in a first-round loss in the Atlantic 10 tournament. Chancellor Philip Dubois said in a statement Monday that the move was in the "long-term interest of 49ers basketball and the university as a whole."

East Carolina’s search for a new men’s basketball coach appears to be heating up.

Rumors circulated on Tuesday that Bobby Lutz, who was fired Monday after 12 years at Charlotte, was spotted on the Pirates’ campus.
