Hershel Kimbrell '50

Hershel-Kimbrell

McMurry University is deeply saddened by the loss of McMurry alumnus and coaching legend Hershel Kimbrell. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends, family, and loved ones. Hershel Kimbrell ’50 was McMurry’s longest running and winningest basketball coach, serving from 1959 to 1990. Under Kimbrell, the men’s basketball team won the Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association (TIAA) title every year but one between 1978 and 1988, advanced to the postseason playoffs 16 times, and competed in the NAIA national tournament in 1962. In 1987, he won his 400th game as a college coach and retired in 1990 with 448 wins.
