Hall of Famer Robert Hughes, the winningest boys high school basketball coach in U.S. history, has died at 96.

Multiple media outlets in the Dallas-Fort Worth area reported on his passing Wednesday.

Hughes won a record 1,333 games at I.M. Terrell High (1958-73) and Dunbar High (1973-2005) in Fort Worth, Texas.

He won five Texas state championships and 35 district titles and was named the National High School Coach of the Year in 2003.

Hughes was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017.

“Robert Hughes made his impact in the record books and in the hearts of everyone fortunate enough to work with or play for him,” reads the Hall of Fame’s biography for Hughes.

“… The tough-minded and beloved coach won 1,333 games with his fast-paced, full-court, high-flying brand of basketball. The show was above the rim, and Hughes pushed his most athletic players to the limit.”
