In 1977 he was named athletic director, a position he held for 34 years before he stepped down in 2011. During that time, Morgan oversaw the growth of the athletic department with the addition of women’s programs at the institution in the late 1970s and 80s, to its transition from NAIA to active NCAA Division II membership by the year 2003. USciences’ active NCAA membership coincided with the opening of its new Athletic Recreation Center and its 1,000 seat basketball arena. The arena was christened the Robert C. “Bobby” Morgan Arena in honor of his longtime success as men’s basketball coach. As the men’s basketball coach, Morgan’s record during his 31 seasons at the school was 598-250 for a winning percentage of 70.5 percent. His total wins and winning percentage rank him amongst the top-10 winningest coaches in NAIA history. Morgan was named NAIA District Coach of the Year eight times (1985, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1993, 1995 and 1997). He guided his teams to four NAIA National Tournament berths in the 1990’s.
