They moved to North Carolina in 1969. Tom Meschery coached the team in 1971 and after retiring as a player, Larry Brown took over the following season. The Cougars were touted as a regional team, playing home games in three cities: Greensboro, Charlotte, and Raleigh, North Carolina. Game 7 of the 1973 Eastern Division Finals was played in Charlotte instead of Greensboro where the team won Games 2 and 5. Following the loss, many questioned that decision and the team never made another deep playoff run. They became the Spirits of St. Louis in 1974. N
