Manhattan University Athletic Hall of Fame
Set a Manhattan career assist record of 394 in only three years. The high school New York State Tournament State Championship MVP, he was heavily recruited by teams such as St. John’s and Maryland before selecting Manhattan College. With his ability to pass and set up teammates, Charlie at 5-foot-11-inches, put many points of his own on the board. As a freshman, he scored 389 points and added 904 during his varsity years for a total of 1,293 points. Coaches and sportswriters alike considered Charlie one of the best point guards in the metropolitan area. He proved them right and played a pivotal role in the Jaspers’ three National Invitation Tournament bids. Often when Manhattan made headlines for victory, Charlie was the driving force. He helped the Jaspers beat Fordham three times, scoring 19 points in the 1975 matchup. At the annual ECAC Holiday Festival, he scored 24 points to beat Michigan in 1972 and be named to the Holiday Festival All-Star Team. The next year, he contributed 16 points to beat St. John’s for the Holiday Festival Title in 1973.
