A recap of the '21-22 season, Coach Doug Whittler had an impressive first year as the interim head coach and later would be offered the head coach position. Coach Whittler became the interim head coach after the passing of late Coach Grady Brewer.
In his first season, Whittler guided the Maroon Tigers to a 21-7 record and a 15-2 SIAC mark, helping the Maroon and White claim its 13th conference regular-season title. As a result, Morehouse earned its sixth No.1 seed in the SIAC tournament.
The Maroon Tigers had a historical 18 game win streak tying the all-time win streak in school history and Whittler is the only Morehouse coach to win 21 games in his first season.
