Terry Linnard Dozier (born June 29, 1966) is an American former professional basketball player and coach. He played high school basketball at Dunbar High in Baltimore and later attended the University of South Carolina, where he played from 1985 to 1989. After his collegiate playing career concluded, Dozier went undrafted in the 1989 NBA draft but signed with the Charlotte Hornets of the National Basketball Association (NBA) for the 1989–90 season. He played nine games with the team, in which he averaged 2.4 points and 1.7 rebounds, before he was waived on November 27, 1989.[1]
As he wasn't able to secure a spot on an NBA roster the following year, Dozier went on to play the remainder of his professional career internationally. Dozier played for the Geelong Supercats and Newcastle Falcons in Australia's National Basketball League (NBL). He was named the league's Best Defensive Player for three consecutive years from 1991 to 1993.[2] Dozier played in Israel during the 1994–95 season for Hapoel Galil Elyon.[3]
After his professional playing career ended, he went on to become head basketball coach for Westwood High School in Blythewood, South Carolina. The team faced off against the Spring Valley Vikings in December 2012, who were led by Terry's twin brother Perry.[4] In 2016, Dozier was relieved of his coaching duties at Westwood.[5]
Personal life
Dozier was a cousin of fellow NBA player Reggie Lewis.[6] Dozier's nephew, PJ Dozier, is also an NBA player.[7]
