Coach (Dr.) Joseph A. Jones led the 1966-67 Men's Basketball Team to Coppin's first Maryland Intercollegiate Conference Championship and the first winning season in sixteen years.  At that time, the Eagles 13-7 record was the best in the history of Coppin's intercollegiate competitions.  Walter Greene led the team with his excellent shooting skills; he was the top shooter for the team and conference.  Larry Hall, co-captain, was instrumental because of his court savvy and speed.  Albert Roberts, co-captain, was most valuable for his leadership.  Clayton McNeill was the team's trouble-shooter; he played both front and back court.  Paul Holmes, the freshman, was noted for his rebounding and outside shooting.  The members of the 1966-67 Men's Basketball Team were William Burgess, Michael Chambers, Albert Edmonds, Alton Erwin, Walter Greene, Larry Hall, Alan Harris, Paul Holmes, Robert Layton, Clayton McNeill, Clyde Parker, Irving Quarles, Albert Roberts, Steve Thornton, Thomas Smith Jr., James Webster, and Matthews Wright.
