Overview

Robert Hughes Sr. (born May 15, 1928) is a retired American high school basketball coach. Hughes was the United States' all-time winningest high school basketball coach from February 11, 2003 to December 7, 2010, and is currently the winningest boys high school basketball coach in the United States with 1,333 wins. He was passed in wins by Leta Andrews of Granbury High School in Granbury, Texas, who compiled a national record 1,416 career victories in girls high school basketball before retiring in 2014. Biography Hughes joined the Army after high school. At 6'6" he was recruited for a special unit that just played basketball; it was the first integrated team Hughes ever played on. When he left the Army, Texas Southern University offered him a basketball scholarship. Playing for coach Edward H. Adams, Hughes was an All-American at Southern. He started playing for the barnstorming Harlem Magicians in 1954, and was selected by the Boston Celtics as a supplemental draft pick in 1955 NBA Draft, but he did not make the team. Hughes returned to the Magicians in 1955, and met his wife, Jacquelyne Johnson, while playing in a tournament in Memphis, but a ruptured Achilles tendon later that season forced him to give up playing basketball. He returned home to Oklahoma and attended the University of Tulsa, graduating in 1957. Coaching career Hughes was hired by Douglas Aircraft as a mechanic after graduating from Tulsa, and worked there until his former coach at Texas Southern called to ask if Hughes had ever considered coaching. Hughes wasn’t initially interested, but Adams persisted and Hughes was hired at I. M. Terrell High School, in Fort Worth, Texas (an all-black high school) during segregation. Hughes led Terrell to three PVIL state championships and one runner up in the five years from 1963 to 1967. After segregation ended and I.M. Terrell was shut down in 1973, Hughes began coaching at Dunbar High School in the Fort Worth Independent School District. At Dunbar, Hughes won two state titles, finished as state runner-up three times, and took the team to the final four 12 times between 1977 and 2003, including ten final fours in the 17-year run between 1977 and 1993. In 32 seasons at Dunbar, Hughes only ever had one assistant coach, Leondas Rambo, who retired with Hughes in 2005.

Notable quotes

“In America, nostalgia for things is apt to set in before they go.”
— "Introduction: The Decline of the City of Mahagonny"
“What strip-mining is to nature, the art market has become to culture.”
— "Introduction: The Decline of the City of Mahagonny"
“It was van Gogh's madness that prevented him from working; the paintings themselves are ineffably sane, if sanity is to be defined in terms of exact judgment of ends and means and the power of visual analysis.”
— "Vincent van Gogh, Part I" (1984)
“The hallmark of the minor artist is to be obsessed with style as an end in itself.”
— "Alex Katz" (1986)
“Everything that would be said against the Eixample's heirs, from Le Corbusier's 'ville radieuse' to Oscar Niemeyer's Brasilia, was already said, with far less justice, about the Eixample itself. And all its critics concurred that the basic mistake was to have left the planning of a city in the hands of a socialist.”
— p. 284
“The greater the artist, the greater the doubt; perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize.”
— "Modernism's Patriarch (Cezanne)", Time magazine (10 June 1996)
