Meek had his first head coaching experience at age 22, with the Fort Benning Doughboy football club in 1944, during World War II. Most of the starters on the team were members of the great Army teams of the early 1940s, and the team defeated all opponents except for a 0-7 loss to Auburn University. Marty Blake, currently the NBA director of scouting, was one of the team managers.
