Jeff Grayer

Jeff Grayer
Jeffrey Grayer (born December 17, 1965) is a retired American professional basketball player and collegiate basketball coach.
As a shooting guard, Grayer starred at Iowa State University from 1985 to 1988 where he set (and still holds) the all-time career scoring record, with 2,502 points. He was named 3-time all-Big Eight and All-American in 1988. Grayer was a member of the United States 1988 Olympic basketball team and was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in the first round (13th pick overall) of the 1988 NBA draft. The NBA journeyman played ten years in the league for five different teams.
In April 2010, Grayer was hired by Greg McDermott as an assistant men's basketball coach at Iowa State. In August 2010, after McDermott left to take a position at Creighton University he was replaced by new coach Fred Hoiberg. Hoiberg retained Grayer as Director of Basketball Operations rather than as an assistant coach, and Grayer left shortly after and returned to his home state of Michigan, citing a desire to be a coach as his reason for leaving.
