Missouri Southern names court after former coach

JOPLIN (AP) – Missouri Southern has renamed its basketball court after the winningest men’s head coach in school history.

The Joplin Globe reports that Robert Corn Court was unveiled Saturday night inside the Leggett & Platt Athletic Center. Joining Corn in pulling the cover off the autograph insignia in front of the Missouri Southern bench were his family and university president Alan Marble.

Corn had 413 wins in 25 seasons at Missouri Southern. He retired from coaching at the end of last season.

A scholarship campaign started to honor Corn has raised $172,750 so far.
