Guy V. Lewis was a Cougar for life.
From attending UH and playing basketball, to coaching his entire 30-year head career for the Cougars, Lewis did some spectacular things for the University and for the game of basketball.
Lewis became head coach of the Cougars in 1956 after serving as an assistant coach since 1953. Over the length of his career, Lewis would accomplish things that no one had before and no one has since.
He was a pioneer in more ways than one. Lewis considered the dunk as the highest percentage shot, telling his players to pass up the jump shot in favor of the dunk, a lesson his Phi Slama Jama teams took to heart.
