(Rock Hill, S.C.) – The Winthrop University esports team continues to compete, despite not having a full-time coach to work closely with students, after former head coach Josh Sides stepped down from his position in December last year. Chuck Rey, Winthrop's interim athletic director and head volleyball coach, has stepped in to help oversee the team, which players say has been helpful. Matthew Hoshauer, a freshman computer science major who leads the Super Smash Brothers subdivision of Winthrop’s esports team, joined the Palmetto Report to discuss the challenges the team has faced without a coach.
