Looks like that shot, bobcatsquared, was the longest in history up to that time. I believe it said 84 ft, 11 inches; the Marshall shot was officially recorded by the NCAA as 89 ft, 10 inches.
In fact, it looks like the shot you mentioned had been eclipsed once before the Morris shot at Marshall: "[Marshall] submitted the shot to the Guinness Book of World Records. Morris broke the previous longest shot on record set by Virginia Tech's Les Henson against Florida State five years earlier. Henson nailed his shot from 89 feet and three inches."
