Deron Feldhaus

During his high school basketball career he played for his father, Coach Allen Feldhaus Sr. During his senior season at Mason County, Feldhaus, along with teammate Jerry Butler, led Mason County to the Sweet 16 State Tournament.

Feldhaus shoved Christian Laettner to the floor after a play under the Kentucky basket with about 10 minutes remaining in the game.

One player, Eric Manuel, was found by the NCAA to have received improper assistance on his college entrance exams.

Less than a week later, on June 1, Rick Pitino was hired as the new head coach and charged with restoring the program.

Feldhaus and fellow freshmen, John Pelphrey, Sean Woods, and Richie Farmer, decided to remain with the program despite major NCAA sanctions.

Feldhaus, along with the Pelphrey, Farmer, and Woods, led Kentucky to an Elite Eight appearance in 1992 where they played the #1 ranked Duke Blue Devils.

Pelphrey, Feldhaus, Farmer, and Woods – nicknamed "The Unforgettables" – restored the luster to a program so hampered by NCAA sanctions only two years before.

His brother Allen Feldhaus Jr. is the head basketball coach at Madison Central High School in Richmond, Kentucky.

He co-owns the Kenton Station Golf Course, a nine-hole course in Mason County, along with his father and stepmother.
