About Stew Morrill
Morrill was born in Provo, Utah, and fell in love with basketball from a young age.
He played collegiately at Ricks College and Gonzaga University, where he was an All-American and two-time All-Big Sky selection. He transitioned to an assistant coaching role after his final year with the Bulldogs.
Morrill coached at Montana and Colorado State before returning to his home state in 1998 to coach Utah State.
Morrill found a lot of his success during his time with the Aggies.
Under Coach Morrill, USU made eight NCAA tournament appearances, finished first in their conference seven times, and never had a losing record.
Three-time WAC Coach of the Year Stew Morrill retired following the 2014-15 season.
The second-longest-tenured coach in USU history, Morrill won 402 games and coached 558, setting both records at Utah State. Morrill’s incredible .720 overall win percentage is a hair better than his 204-80 (.718) conference coaching record.
