Dedric Willoughby

Dedric Willoughby (born May 27, 1974 in New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American former professional basketball player.

A 6'3" guard, Willoughby began his college basketball career at the University of New Orleans, then transferred to Iowa State University. His coach at both schools was Tim Floyd.[1] During each of his two seasons at Iowa State, Willoughby was the runner-up for the Big 12 Conference Player of the Year Award. As a senior, he averaged 18.9 points per game and made 45% of his three-point field goal attempts.[2]

After playing professionally in Italy, Willoughby made the roster of the Chicago Bulls for the 1999-2000 NBA season, and was reunited once again with coach Tim Floyd.[3] He appeared in 25 games that season, registering one start, and averaged 7.6 points.[4]

During the next season, Willoughby signed with the Sydney Kings of the Australian National Basketball League. However, he injured his knee in a practice,[5] and was released shortly afterward.[6]

Willoughby later became a coach with the All-Iowa Attack youth basketball program in Ames, Iowa.[7]
