From Grokipedia on Wayne Morgan:
"Head coach at Long Beach State"

"Morgan was hired as head coach of the Long Beach State men's basketball team in 1996, succeeding Seth Greenberg who had departed for the University of Virginia. His tenure lasted six seasons, during which he compiled an overall record of 91–84 (.520) and a 57–41 mark (.582) in Big West Conference play.
Morgan's teams showed steady improvement, particularly in the late 1990s. The 1999–2000 season marked the program's highlight under his leadership, as the 49ers captured the Big West regular-season championship with a 24–6 overall record, including a 15-game winning streak that propelled them to a berth in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). This success was built on a balanced approach, blending an up-tempo offensive style with disciplined defensive tactics that Morgan had honed during his time as an assistant at Syracuse University.
Recruiting proved a strength of Morgan's program, as he assembled rosters featuring several players who went on to professional careers. These talents helped elevate the team's competitiveness within the mid-major conference, fostering a culture of resilience despite limited resources.
However, expectations at Long Beach State grew with the 1999–2000 triumph, and subsequent seasons fell short. After a 15–14 record in 2000–01 and a disappointing 9–21 campaign in 2001–02—the program's worst in over a decade—Morgan was fired in March 2002 amid pressure to sustain national relevance. The administration cited the need for renewed momentum in a competitive landscape, though Morgan's overall impact on rebuilding the program's foundation was acknowledged by supporters."
