COACH 1984 - 2011

Scott served as the women’s basketball coach at Apex High School from 1989 until 2011. Upon his retirement from Apex, he had coached his teams to 377 wins at Apex and 462 wins overall during his career. His teams were among the most consistent and respected teams in North Carolina during his tenure, as they won five conference championships, made the state playoffs 19 times, won six Sectional or Regional championships, and reached the state finals in 2007. He was voted as Coach of the Year six times during his stint at Apex High School and served as both the head coach of the East team in the 1998 East-West All Star game, and as an assistant coach in the 2007 North Carolina/South Carolina All Star Classic. Scott received the Raleigh Sports Club Distinguished Service award in 2014 and was recognized by the WBCA for his 100th, 200th, 300th, and 400th career wins.

Finally, in a memorable tribute to the relationships that he built, at least 11 of Scott’s former basketball players have gone on to careers in coaching at some level, including current Apex High School coaches Dana Higgins Ivy and Charli Michael. He also coached current Hall of Famers Ginnell Curtis and Amy Dodd, both of whom became coaches as well.
