  • "Big Daddy D" David Lattin
    "Big Daddy D" David Lattin: Worthing Great Inducted to Texas Association of Basketball Coaches Hall of Fame David Lattin was only a junior, but already a muscular, towering force in the middle, when he led a new high school in Houston’s Sunnyside neighborhood to a PVIL 4A state championship in 1962. It was the Evan E. Worthing Colts’ only basketball state championship, but the beginning of an honor- filled career for the player who became known as “Big Daddy D.” And, at age 69, Lattin’s accomplishments are still being recognized, as on May 18 the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches will include him along with five others for induction to the TABC Hall of Fame class of 2013 in ceremonies at the El Tropicano Riverwalk Hotel in San Antonio. Other members of the class are Richard Clemit Hyden, who led Buna to four girls state titles in 10 seasons; Rhonda Farney, who has won more than 900 games as girls coach at Goldthwaite, Ozona and Georgetown; Mike Kunstadt, who coached at Corpus Christi Carroll before becoming one of the state's foremost authorities on basketball recruiting; Dennis "Denny" Smith, who compiled a 509-499 as boys’ coach at San Antonio McCollum High School, and former Seguin High School boys' coach Harry Miller, who went on to coach at Baylor. In 1962, Lattin was the first prep basketball player in Texas named an All-American when he lead Worthing to its title, coached by Bennie Roy. Both Lattin and Roy are members of the PVILCA Hall of Honor. He was All-American, again, as a senior averaging 29 points, 19 rebounds and 13 blocked shots per game and received over 300 scholarship offers, settling on Tennessee State University.

My entire career, up to this point, has been dedicated to serving and developing my passion for arts education. As early as High School, I was drawn to both leadership and the arts. Young as I was at the time, I knew that I wanted to share the magic and the power of theater with as many people as possible – and I watched it change the lives of the inner city kids whom I have directed in some of my first theater productions. I went on to try my hand at writing for film and theater, producing talent, teaching theater at conservatories across the country, and offering my services as a judge and a motivational speaker at various international arts events, while leading the education department of Tony Randall's National Actors Theater for over twenty classical productions over eight years. All with the purpose of sharing my passion for theater and for the arts.
