Steele's record for the remainder of the season matched that of McKinney: 17–25.

The Cougars finished the 1970–71 season with an overall record of 34–50, placing sixth in the ABA's Eastern Division and missing the playoffs.

This facility houses locker rooms, offices and training facilities for 11 of High Point's 16 varsity sports.

The men's and women's basketball teams are those excluded from this facility, due to the large amount of office space required for the two revenue-earning sports, as well as the former athletic administration's offices' proximity to the varsity basketball arena floor and locker rooms, which the basketball coaches moved into in April 2007.

He died on July 11, 2021.
