Don Meyer

Meyer_Don_E3888

Don Meyer, a legend of college basketball and an author of Basketball Skills and Drills, Second Edition, died Sunday, May 18, in Aberdeen, South Dakota, at the age of 69. Meyer fought carcinoid cancer in the last years of his life.

A purist who loved teaching and basketball but was not interested in navigating the complications attached to Division I basketball, Meyer spent his career working at small colleges: Hamline in Minnesota, Lipscomb University in Nashville, and Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. In January 2009, Meyer set the mark for the most wins for any men’s coach in NCAA history; when he retired after the 2009-2010 season, he had 923 victories, a mark that has since been surpassed by Mike Krzyzewski.
