Donald Harrison Shows, known as Don Shows (February 15, 1940 – March 3, 2014), was an American athlete of five sports, a coach of the Northeast Louisiana Indians (renamed the Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks in 2006) and the Northwestern State Demons. Most of his career was as a high school football coach whose last team, from 1989 until 2012, was the Class 5-A West Monroe High School Rebels in West Monroe, Louisiana, USA. At least one poll declared the Rebels in both 1998 and 2000 as national champions, a subjective designation.
On June 25, 2011, Shows (pronounced SHAUZ) was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame, located in . Chosen by a 30-member committee of the Louisiana Sportswriters Association, the 2011 nominees brought the number honored to that time to 285.
One of three sons of George Melvin and Thelma Shows, Don Shows was born and reared in Ruston in Lincoln Parish. He graduated in 1958 from Ruston High School, where he lettered in baseball, basketball, and track and field, as well as football. He played under the legendary Ruston High School coach Hoss Garrett: "We ran the Notre Dame Box. I played tailback, which is essentially the same as a quarterback in the 'gun'. I also ran track and played baseball. I won four state championships in track."
