Anthony Allen Stacey (born March 25, 1977) is a retired American basketball player and current head coach for Whitmer High School in Toledo. Stacy played college basketball for Bowling Green University, where he was an all-conference college player. He played professionally for several years in Spain's Liga ACB.
Stacey, a 6'4" small forward from Elyria, Ohio, played college basketball at Bowling Green from 1996 to 2000. Stacey averaged 16.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as a freshman and was named Mid-American Conference (MAC) Freshman of the Year. Following an injury-shortened sophomore campaign, Stacey was named first team All-MAC his last two seasons, as well as MAC Player of the Year in 2000. Stacey finished his college career with 1,938 points.[1]
Following graduation from Bowling Green, Stacey headed to Spain where he enjoyed a nine-year professional career in Spain, including stints in Liga ACB for CB Lucentum Alicante, CB Murcia and Baloncesto León.[2]
In 2011, Stacey began coaching the Medina High School Varsity boys basketball team. This was his first head coaching job after spending two years as an assistant at Lorain High School.[3] After three seasons in Medina, Stacey stepped down in April 2014 to pursue a full-time job in the Sandusky City School District. During his tenure, Medina went 41-33 including going 19-7 in his final season. He became one of three boys basketball coaches in Medina County history to reach the regional finals.[4]
