He also ranks No. 2 in free throws made in a single season (188) and No. 3 in career points scored (1,277).
In his two seasons playing under Coach Jim Ducey, the Coyotes were 41-10.
At 6-feet, 9-inches and 210 pounds, Mark was slender but very effective.
In 1987-88, Mark earned third-team Kodak all-America honors in NCAA Division III, leading the Coyotes to a 21-4 record while averaging 25.7 points and 12.8 rebounds a game. He had 32 points and 21 rebounds in a game against UC Santa Cruz.
The team won its last 15 games in a row and finished the season ranked No. 19 in the nation and No. 3 in the West Region.
In 1988-89, Mark earned second-team Kodak all-America honors by averaging 25.4 points and 14.5 rebounds per game for a team that went 20-6. The team hosted an NCAA tournament game for the first time, losing to Pomona Pitzer 108-105 before nearly 1,000 fans in The Den. He was co-captain on a team that averaged 93 points a game.
“He is a dedicated player who has worked hard on his game,” said Coach Ducey in the team’s 1988-89 program. “He is an excellent outside shooter with strong inside moves.”
After graduating from Rim of the World High School in 1984 where he earned all-CIF Southern Section honors twice, Mark played at Division I UC Irvine before transferring to CSUSB. He was a marketing major.
He met his wife, Lissa McDonald Warren, a member of the Coyotes women’s volleyball team, in the athletics training room. The couple lives in Albuquerque, N.M., where until recently Mark owned and operated a successful sporting goods sales and marketing business.
Mark is currently coaching a high school girl’s basketball team. Lissa is the athletic director and teacher at a private school in the city. They have three children, Julia, 14, Hannah, 10, and Garrett, 8.
Coyote Athletics is proud to induct Mark Warren as a founding member of its Hall of Fame.
