Jevon Crudup (born April 27, 1972) is an American former professionalbasketball player and coach. After playingcollege basketball at theUniversity of Missouri, Crudup was drafted by theDetroit Pistons in the1994 NBA draft. During his senior year, Crudup helped lead Missouri to theElite Eight, tying the school's deepest NCAA Tournament run ever. However, shortly after that season, Missouri discovered that Crudup had accepted thousands of dollars in inducements from a middleman working for agents hoping to sign Crudup if he was selected in the1994 NBA draft. Missouri didn't dispute that Crudup had received the payments, but contended that it didn't know about them. In 1996, the NCAA largely exonerated Missouri, but forced the Tigers to vacate their 1994 NCAA Tournament appearance.[1]
He coached at his alma mater,Raytown South High School, and in 2006, won a wrongful termination judgement in a discrimination lawsuit against the school after he was fired over a post-game incident.[2]
