Kevin Mackey (born August 21,1946) is a former head coach of men's basketball at Cleveland State University. Although several low moments of his life were made public, Mackey was also a popular symbol of success when his CSU Vikings upset the Indiana Hoosiers to make the Sweet 16 in the 1986 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.

ports career

Mackey coached at Cleveland State University from 1983 to 1990 and posted a record of 144 wins and 67 losses. His teams made two National Invitation Tournament appearances and averaged more than 20 wins per season.

Following his arrest in 1990 (see below) Mackey left CSU but went on to a successful career in Minor league basketball. In 1991, he was a mid-season replacement coach for the Miami Tropics of the United States Basketball League and led the team to the title game. In 1996 he coached the Portland (Maine) Mountain Cats to the Final Four of the USBL. Following his stint with the Mountain Cats, Mackey captured three consecutive USBL Championships, with the Atlantic City Seagulls, something no other coach in the USBL has done.

He also coached Trenton New Jersey of the I.B.C., Jacksonville of the USBL and was National Director of Scouting for Hoops Global and Director of Player Personnel for Pro Basketball USA. In 1999, he again surfaced as a head coach, this time in professional basketball where he led the Mansfield Hawks to the International Basketball Association championship in his first season.

In 2004, he was a first-year scout for the Indiana Pacers of the NBA [ [http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/mensbasketball/2004-01-21-mackey-resurrection_x.htm USATODAY.com - Kevin Mackey gets back on track ] ] .

Arrest

Excerpt from an SI.com article about his 1990 arrest outside of a crack house: :"Kevin Mackey was far from the only coach to succumb to a substance-abuse problem and run afoul of the law. Mackey was, however, arrested under arguably the most embarrassing circumstances."

:"In the summer of 1990, Cleveland police received a tip that Mackey was using cocaine inside a known crack house. When the police got there, television reporters who monitor their police radios arrived in tow to record Mackey emerging from the house with a prostitute on his arm. Cleveland State fired Mackey a few days later, and after he pleaded no contest to charges of cocaine abuse and driving under the influence, a judge suspended his prison sentence and ordered him to enter rehab for 60 days."

:"Mackey says he is still clean and sober. After bouncing around the subterranean coaching circuit for a number of years, he joined the Indiana Pacers as a scout in 2004."
