Scott Edward Roth (born June 3, 1963) is a retired American professional basketball player and head coach.
The 6'8" forward played collegiately for the University of Wisconsin–Madison from 1982 to 1985, averaging more than 18 points per game in his senior season. Following his standout collegiate career, Roth was selected in the fourth round of the 1985 NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs. He opted to begin his professional playing career overseas with Efes Pilsen in Turkey. He returned to North America in 1987 and appeared in 160 NBA games with the Utah Jazz (1987–88), San Antonio Spurs (1988–89) and Minnesota Timberwolves (1989–90) before returning to Europe to finish his playing career.
In 1989–90, Roth played for Bill Musselman, when the latter became the first head coach of the Timberwolves.
Coaching
In March 2007, Roth was named head coach of the Dominican Republic national basketball team.[1]
Roth had coached in the NBA Development League with the Bakersfield Jam from 2007 to 2009 before he joined the Golden State Warriors as an assistant coach for the 2009–10 season. He then joined the Toronto Raptors as an assistant coach for the 2010–11 season.[2]
In the summer of 2014, Roth signed with Baloncesto Sevilla as head coach, but by September 2014 the Liga ACB had not processed his coaching license in time for him to start the season with the team.[3] Audie Norris assumed formal head coaching duties in Roth's place, [4] until Roth's contract was terminated on January 22, 2015.[5]
