He was named the National Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2001. He won two College World Series Championships (also in 1999 and 2001) and made it to Omaha 13 of his 25 years. At Miami, Morris’ teams made the postseason 23 times. Morris helped lead the charge on funding of Alex Rodriguez Park at the University of Miami.
