LeVelle Moton becomes winningest coach in NCCU basketball history

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- NC Central has a new all-time winningest head basketball coach in the history of the University.

LeVelle Moton notched his 252 win Friday night against Saint Andrews. That placed him one game above Floyd Brown on the list of all-time wins at NCCU.

Moton also has 4 MEAC titles as a coach. Plus, his #15 jersey is retired for his time on the court, where he personally scored 1,714 points.

NCCU won 102-50 in Friday night's game.

During the post-game news conference, Moton's son VJ was by his side.

Moton talked about the team's win over Saint Andrews, and about the influences that touched his life as a young man growing up in public housing in Raleigh.

He said it was instrumental to have strong male mentors who taught him how to play basketball.

ABC11's Kate Rogerson asked VJ how it felt to know his dad is the winningest coach in NCCU basketball history.

"Oh, it's amazing, man. Now I can say he's actually great, great, but I knew he was great"
