Warren Stewart Way (January 19, 1911 – May 5, 1980) was an American college basketball coach. He was the head coach and a longtime assistant at Marshall. While at Marshall, Way was named acting head coach in 1969 after head coach Ellis T. Johnson resigned and Marshall was subsequently suspended from the Mid-American Conference due to alleged recruiting violations. A year later he was named the school's full time head coach.[2][3]
Way became the associate head coach at Marshall under Carl Tacy in 1971 after Way made the request to athletic director Joe McMullen.[4] Way would remain the associate head coach at Marshall until 1975 when he retired from coaching.[5] Prior to his tenure at Marshall, Way was the head coach at Ceredo-Kenova High School, Scott High School, and Huntington High School in West Virginia.[5]
Way died of cancer on May 5, 1980.[6]
