Hall of Famer, ex-Houston coach Guy Lewis dies at 93

Former Houston Cougars men's basketball coach Guy V. Lewis -- best known for leading the "Phi Slama Jama" teams of the 1980s -- has died. He was 93.

Lewis died at a retirement facility in Kyle, Texas, on Thanksgiving morning surrounded by family, Houston athletic director Hunter Yurachek said Thursday.

Lewis coached the Cougars for 30 years, guiding Houston to back-to-back NCAA title games in 1983 and '84, but he never won the national championship.
