Norris Coleman

Norris James Coleman (born September 27, 1961) is an American retired professional basketball player who was selected by the Los Angeles Clippers in the second round (38th pick overall) of the 1987 NBA draft.

A 6'8" forward from Kansas State University, Coleman played in only one National Basketball Association (NBA) season.

Following his one season in the NBA, Coleman had a lengthy and successful career in foreign professional basketball leagues, principally in Israel.

Coleman continued to play in Israel in numerous teams until his retirement in 2001, with Hapoel Tel Aviv in the second league, at the age of 40.

[1] However, near the close of that season, the NCAA found that Coleman had not met the minimum high school requirements and K-State immediately declared him ineligible.
