Description

Black and white photograph of John Morrison, coach of the Casper College men's basketball team from 1989 to 1993. According to an Athletics Staff description from a 1990 Casper College athletics program for Thunderbird basketball, "Morrison is no stranger to Region IX basketball. A native of Scobey, Montana, Morrison attended Dawson college and Northern Montana College, where he was honorable mention All-America in 1971. He went on to play professional basketball in Holland and Austria. In 1974, Morrison was Most Valuable Player against the national Hungarian and Romanian teams. Prior to accepting the Casper College post, Morrison was an assistant coach at Northern Montana and Billings West High School. He then spent eight years at Dawson college as head coach. His teams at Dawson were Mon-Dak conference champions six times, and qualified for the Region IX tournament all but two of those years. Morrison coached one year at Dakota Wesleyan before coming to Casper. During his career, his teams are 155-127 (not including this season). John has a wife, Wanda, and three children, Brandie, Sara and Adam."
