Tiny Morton will return to coach Lincoln basketball
Lincoln High School’s famed head coach Dwayne “Tiny” Morton is returning to run the Railsplitters’ basketball program in Coney Island just one year after he left to be an assistant coach at Seton Hall.
After it was first reported in the New York Post that Morton would be leaving the New Jersey university, Morton himself confirmed to the Brooklyn Eagle that he would indeed be back on the sidelines in Coney Island this year. He would only say that it was the, “wrong coaching staff,” for him to continue at Seton Hall.
“I want to thank Dwayne for his contributions to our program over the last year,” Seton Hall coach Kevin Willard said in a statement earlier this month. “He is a terrific coach and mentor for student-athletes, and I understand that he feels his calling is back in teaching. I wish him all the best as he pursues his dream job.”
