In the pas,t nine years, the jovial mentor has guided Morehead to a respectable 130-91 record and three trips to the NCAA tournament. His most rewarding season was possibly the 1960-61 campaign in which he led the Morehead crew to their third OVC championship and a victory over Xavier University in the NCAA first round. His efforts with the 1960-61 soph­ omore-junior dominated squad won him honors as Ohio Valley Conference "Coach of the Year". Last season's unit posted a fine 14-8 record. Laughlin came to Morehead in 1935 ars as­ sistant basketball coach and head ba,sketball coach at Breckinridge training school. A knee injury cut his own promi:sing career, bu't the former Xavier University star successfully trans­ Jie11red his skills from hardwood to bench. Laugh­ lin guided Breckimidge to the regional finals on 12 of 14 occasions -arnd led them to the Kentucky state championship in 1946 with a 28-4 record. In 1953, Laughlin joined the Morehead State College staff as head basketball coach and ath­ letic director, positions which he holds today. He is a veteran of 27 years of coaching and, along with Morehead president Adron Doran, is greatly responsible for building a sound athletic program at Morehead State College.
