Union College Athletics

The 1974-75 men's basketball team is one of the finest squads in the long history of basketball at Union, posting a 20-4 record to tie for fourth on the program's single-season wins list.
 
Lead by head coach Bill Scanlon, who was named the Times Union Capital District Coach of the Year, the team did not lose consecutive games all season and ended the season by capturing the ECAC Upstate New York championship as the top seed with convincing wins over Hamilton and Oneonta. As a team, Union shot an incredible 50.7 percent (803-of-1582) from the field, the highest single-season percentage in program history and sixth-best in the nation that year. The team's 79.4 points-per-game average is third-best ever for a Union side and helped the squad rank top-five nationally by winning by an average of 14.3 points per game.
 
Charles Gugliotta led the team in scoring and rebounding at 14.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game and was named to the NABC All-East District Team, while Bill Carmody set a then-school record with 146 assists, a mark that still ranks eighth all-time at Union, and graduated with school single-game, single-season and career assist records.
