Clement Tyron McCoy (born November 20, 1972) is an American professional basketball coach and former professional basketball player.
Playing career
A 6'5'' guard from Bethune, South Carolina,[1] McCoy attended Bethune High School before enrolling at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1991. He scored 1,456 points over the span of his four-year career at VCU, leading the Rams in points per game (15.2) as a senior.[2]
Upon graduation in 1995, McCoy spent 13 years playing professionally in Austria, Malta and Germany. In his ten years in the German top-flight Basketball Bundesliga, he registered 4,792 points in 285 games played, representing MTV Gießen, TV Lich, the Frankfurt Skyliners, EWE Baskets Oldenburg and Bayer Leverkusen.[3] McCoy’s career accolades include four Bundesliga All-Star appearances (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005), five Eurobasket.com All-Bundesliga Imports First Team selections (1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005) and two Eurobasket.com All-Bundesliga Defensive Team selections (2000, 2001).
In September 2010, he had his jersey number 14 retired by the Oldenburg team and was added to the club's Hall of Fame.[4]
Coaching career
McCoy’s career on the sidelines began in 2008 as an assistant coach at German Bundesliga side EnBW Ludwigsburg. Following a two-year stint at Ludwigsburg, he served as an assistant with the Artland Dragons from 2010 to 2013, before being promoted to the head coach position prior to the 2013-14 campaign.[5] He guided the Dragons to a trip to the 2014 Bundesliga semifinals, ending the reign of four-time champion Bamberg in the quarterfinals. McCoy was a coach at the 2014 Bundesliga All-Star game and received 2014 Eurobasket.com All-Bundesliga Coach of the Year honors.[6] The Artland Dragons withdrew from Germany’s top-flight at the conclusion of the 2014-15 season, which ended McCoy’s tenure as head coach of the Quakenbrück-based club.
In December 2015, he took over as head coach of another German Bundesliga team, the Walter Tigers Tübingen.[7]
