Wilson Washington Jr. (born August 3, 1955) is a retired American basketball player and a former assistant coach at Norfolk State University. Washington was an All-American player at Old Dominion University and played for two seasons in the National Basketball Association.
From Norfolk, Virginia's Booker T. Washington High School, Washington first went to Maryland to play for coach Lefty Driesell. However, he left the school after only one game. He transferred to Division II Old Dominion, where he and the team found great success. As a sophomore in 1974–75, Washington averaged 13.7 points and 12.6 rebounds per game and was named a third team All-American. The Monarchs went 25-6 and defeated New Orleans 76–75 to win the 1975 NCAA Division II national championship. Washington was named the tournament MVP.
As a junior, Washington averaged 17.9 points and 13.5 rebounds and led the Monarchs to a 19-12 record in a season where the Monarchs played many Division I teams in anticipation of moving up a level the next year. ODU again made the Division II Final Four, this time losing to Puget Sound in the national semifinals. Washington was named a first team all-American at the close of the season. As a senior, Washington led the Monarchs to a respectable 25–4 record in their first Division I season. He averaged 18 points and 11.4 rebounds and was named ODU's first Division I All-American, earning AP honorable mention honors in 1977.
