Is Lenny Wilkens the last African-American head coach to lead a team to a championship?
Over the past couple of years, there have been many African-American coaches that have lead a team to appear in the NBA Finals such Byron Scott of then-New Jersey Nets, Avery Johnson of the Dallas Mavericks, and Mike Brown of the Cleveland Cavaliers. I'm doing a story about Lenny Wilkens because I'm from the Bay Area and we have a coach who is behind his record for all time wins by a head coach. I only know a litte bit facts about Lenny Wilkens that he is winningest coach of all time and also he was the head coach of the Sonics and lead the team to a championship. But is he the last Afro-American to lead a basketball team to a championship? If you guys have any information from sources or articles, feel free to anawer this question. Thank you.
Hi CrisMC,
No, Lenny Wilkens is not the last African-American head coach to lead a team to an NBA title. K.C. Jones did it with the Boston Celtics twice, 1984 and the last time an African-American coach won the NBA championship 1986.

Bowden has also led the Seminoles to 14 straight ten win seasons in which the team finished ranked in the top five each season. One of his biggest accomplishments is the fact that Bowden only had one losing season as the head coach of Florida State.
It's hard to believe that the man who built the program to be what it is today will be forced to step away after the Seminoles bowl game this year. With Bowden stepping down and retiring offensive coordinator Jumbo Fisher will be taking over as the head coach. Fisher was deemed Bowden successor at the end of the 2007 season and was slated to be paid $5 million if he had not received the head coaching position by 2011. After the season ending loss to rival Florida Gators, Bowden was given the option to step down and take on a lesser role by being an ambassador for the team or retire.
Even though Bowden and the Seminoles dominated most of the late 80's and pretty much all the 90's lately his team has not been a championship contender and have run into major academic problems off the field that could eventually vacate 14 of Bowden's wins from the 2006-07 seasons. As of now the ruling to vacate the wins are still under appeal, which Florida State hopes to win.
In all it was a great run for Bowden, as he accumulated the second highest win total in Division 1 FBS with 388 wins, just five shy of the legendary Joe Paterno who still coaches at Penn State. Part of Bowden's epic tale was told in the blockbuster movie We Are Marshall which told the story of how Bowden helped the young Thundering Herd of Marshall University rebuild after the tragic plane crash in 1970 that claimed 75 lives including 37 players and eight coaches.
