Former Dunbar and Maryland star Keith Booth named as next coach of the Poets

Keith Booth, who starred at Dunbar High before going on to a career at Maryland and the NBA, will return to the fabled Baltimore high school program as its boys basketball coach this fall, athletic director Dana Johnson said Thursday.

Booth, 44, succeeds Cyrus Jones Sr., who stepped down in April after 12 seasons as the team’s head coach and 16 years at the school.

Booth was a McDonald’s All-American for the Poets during his senior year in 1993.
