, which have honored or plan to honor prominent coaches in their programs’ histories by displaying their names near half court.
“If you look at basketball games in college, those names are always [prominent] on the court. It’s not on the sidelines underneath a bench. I don’t get it.”“If you probably won’t see [the name] during games,” said Prep graduate Reggie Redding via phone, “then what’s the point of it being there?” Reached by phone, Bucknell men’s basketball coach John Griffin III, who won PCL crowns at the Prep in 2003 and 2004, said Morris’ impact at the Prep on and off the court was “immeasurable.” His father, John Jr., won titles under Morris at Roman in 1973 and ‘74. His younger brother Matt also played for Morris at the Prep before twice leading Roman to PCL titles as head coach in 2018 and ‘19.
Redding said he assumed the school had good intentions, but wished communication between the Prep and the Morris family had occurred before Morris’ name was moved.
