About Coach Morgan Wootten
Morgan Bayard Wootten (born April 21, 1931 in Durham, North Carolina, United States) is a former high school basketball coach.
From 1956 to 2002 he coached at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, Maryland. The coach with the most wins in high school basketball history, a number of his players went on to play in the NBA, including Adrian Dantley. Wootten gained legendary status in 1965, when his DeMatha team beat Lew Alcindor's Power Memorial Academy and ended their 71-game winning streak. "I know of no finer coach at any level-high school, college or pro. I stand in awe of him," says the legendary former UCLA coach John Wooden.
At the end of Wootten's career, he ranked eighth place in the nation among career high school coaches, according to USA Today Magazine, with 1,274 wins and 192 losses. He is the only high school basketball coach to ever be inducted into the basketball hall of fame.
Wootten authored five books (including
A Coach for All Seasons,
Coaching Basketball Successfully, and
From Orphans to Champions). His youngest son, Joe Wootten, follows his lead and is a successful basketball coach at Bishop O'Connell High School in Arlington, Virginia. Both of them lead one of the premiere camps in the nation, Coach Wootten's Basketball Camp. This camp is held in Frostburg, Maryland at Frostburg State University.
In October 2000, he was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as a coach. He is the only high school coach in the Hall.
