NCCU is the alma mater of many outstanding alumni in athletics, including 10-time NBA Champion Sam Jones; legendary high school coach, Herman “Ike” Boone; the first CIAA and NCCU women’s basketball player drafted by the WNBA, Amba Kongolo; and former Chancellor, Head Track Coach, and President of the U.S. Olympic Committee, Dr. LeRoy Walker.
