Kendall FarrNotre Dame High School has named Jonathan Adams its new boys’ basketball coach. Adams, who played at Baylor and Old Dominion, has worked as an assistant at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and McCallie.
Adams was a two-time Mr. Basketball finalist and first-team all state player while at Baylor. He later became a four-year starter at Old Dominion, where he was named Colonial Athletic Association scholar athlete of the year in 2007. He played professionally in Germany for the Bochum Astrostars before returning to Chattanooga, where he earned his master’s in special education at UTC. He is nearing completion of his doctorate from Liberty University.
“I am very excited about taking over Notre Dame’s program. I am up for the challenge of trying to take this program to new heights,” said Adams, whose mother Priscilla Morgan played basketball at North Carolina State and whose father Charles Morgan was a standout defensive lineman at Howard and Tennessee.
