Coach Herb Lindsley, a legendary figure at Morris Knolls High School, has been an inspirational leader, mentor, and coach for over three decades. His unwavering dedication to students and tireless commitment to excellence have helped shape not only outstanding athletes, but also responsible, respectful, and driven individuals.
Coach Lindsley’s impact reaches far beyond the basketball court. He has influenced generations of students, instilling values of discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and integrity—values that continue to guide them throughout their lives. His legacy is deeply woven into the fabric of the Morris Knolls community.
Naming the Morris Knolls High School basketball court in his honor would be a fitting and lasting tribute to his extraordinary contributions. It would recognize not only his achievements, but also the profound and lasting influence he has had on so many lives.
We believe this dedication will stand as a permanent symbol of the values Coach Lindsley championed and serve as an inspiration for current and future generations of students.

I worked with him for years.\nIn economic eff We worked together with the special needs kids for years. He had a special understanding and way with the students.
Get it done! I have a few coach stories, one in particular when he called me into his office and pushed papers off his desk on the floor and told me to pick them up... and then kicked me in the ass and said, now get to class! Priceless!
Coach Lindsley made gym bearable, even kind of enjoyable, even for the most non-athletic of us. It’s an honor and pleasure to sign this petition
While I didn’t make the cut Coach was incredibly fair Complementary And what might have been a demeaning and humiliating time, was not Because even the candidates that didn’t make his team felt important and valuable. I wholeheartedly endorse this petition Class of 1980
Coach impacted my life as well as so many other student athletes that came through the doors of MK. It’s a fitting tribute to an outstanding educator, coach and more importantly, person.
I played soccer for Mr. Linsdley and can say he is an amazing coach, no matter what sport. Amazing human!
He was a great man.
