College Basketball Hall of Fame
Inducted in 2007
Norman Stewart (born January 20, 1935) is a retired American
college basketball
coach. He coached at the
University of Northern Iowa
(then known as State College of Iowa) from 1961 to 1967, but is best known for his career with the
University of Missouri
from 1967 until 1999. He retired with an overall coaching record of 731–375 in 38 seasons. The court at
Mizzou Arena
(and previously at the
Hearnes Center
) is named in his honor.
Coaching career
Following his brief career as a professional athlete, Norm Stewart returned to the
University of Missouri
in 1957 to earn his master's degree. He also served as an assistant basketball coach under
Sparky Stalcup
and an assistant baseball coach under
Hi Simmons
. In 1961 Stewart became head basketball coach at the State College Of Iowa (now
University of Northern Iowa
). In six seasons Stewart's Panthers compiled a record of 97 wins, 42 losses, and two conference championships.
On March 10, 1967, Stewart was named head basketball coach at his alma mater. He inherited a program that had only garnered two winning seasons since 1956, his senior year. The Tigers had only finished as high as fourth in the
Big Six/Seven/Eight
three times since then. He didn't take long to turn the program around. In his fifth year, he led the Tigers to the
National Invitation Tournament
, their first postseason appearance of any sort since the
1944 NCAA basketball tournament
, and only the second in school history. Four years later, the Tigers won their second outright conference title in school history and went to the
NCAA tournament
for only the second time ever, advancing all the way to the Elite Eight. He reached his peak from 1979 to 1983, when the Tigers won four straight Big Eight regular season titles.
In 32 seasons as Missouri head coach, Stewart had a 634–333 overall record, making him far and away the winningest coach in school history.

Stewart's Missouri teams also won eight Big Eight regular-season championships, six
Big Eight tournament
titles, made 16
NCAA
Tournament appearances (including Elite Eight appearances in 1976 and 1994; though the 1994 run was vacated), five NIT appearances, and one
National Commissioners Invitational Tournament
appearance. Stewart also was
UPI Coach of the Year
(1982) and
Associated Press Coach of the Year
(1994).
