Extract from 1/16/20 article on NJCAA.org:

On the heels of an NCAA Final Four appearance in 2019, Mark Adams joins the latest NJCAA Men's Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame class for his decorated tenure at Howard (TX).

From 2004-13, Adams accumulated 233 victories with the Hawks to coincide with three conference championships. Adams reached the pinnacle of NJCAA basketball with the 2010 national championship and NJCAA Coach of the Year honor. The title was the first in program history for Howard. Under Adams' tutelage, a pair of former student-athletes garnered NJCAA Player of the Year honors in Charles Burgess and current NBA star Jae Crowder.

After a successful campaign with the Hawks, Adams made the hour and a half trip north to Lubbock, TX to take over as the Director of Basketball Operations at Texas Tech for two seasons. Following a stint as an assistant coach at Little Rock, Adams returned to Texas Tech and has served as the assistant coach since 2016.

A decorated winner at all levels of collegiate basketball, Adams' first head coaching job came with NJCAA-member Clarendon (TX) from 1981-82.

Adams becomes the second Howard coach inducted into the NJCAA Men's Basketball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, joining Archie Meyers (2000).
