Born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Dooling attended the University of Missouri and played basketball for the Missouri Tigers for two seasons. After being chosen with the 10th pick of the 2000 NBA draft, Dooling began his NBA career with the Los Angeles Clippers. Dooling later played for the Miami Heat, the Orlando Magic, the New Jersey Nets, the Milwaukee Bucks, the Boston Celtics, and the Memphis Grizzlies before ending his playing career in 2013.

The Utah Jazz hired Dooling as a player development coach in 2020, but placed him on administrative leave in 2022. In February 2023, Dooling was sentenced to prison for his role in a plot to defraud the NBA's health and welfare benefit plan.

Early life and prep career

Dooling was born to Leroy and Brenda Dooling [1] on May 8, 1980 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. [2]

Dooling averaged 22 points, six assists, six rebounds, and five steals per game during his senior year at Ft. Lauderdale's Dillard High School. He was also named a third-team Parade All-American. In the summer of 1997, Dooling was selected to the USA Basketball Men's Junior World Championship Qualifying Team. He started in all six games he played in the Dominican Republic. Dooling helped his team to the gold medal, averaging 7.8 points per game and adding 14 assists and eight steals. [3]

[4] The Tigers advanced to the NCAA tournament following both of Dooling's seasons with the team. [5]

Professional career

A 6'3" (1.91 m), 195 lbs (88 kg) guard, Dooling was selected by the Orlando Magic with the 10th overall pick of the 2000 NBA draft. [6] On draft day, he was traded--along with Corey Maggette, Derek Strong and cash--to the Los Angeles Clippers in exchange for a future first-round selection. [7]

Dooling signed with the Miami Heat for the 2004–05 season. [8] During the 2005 offseason, he returned to the Magic. [9] In a January 11, 2006, game against the Seattle SuperSonics, Dooling and eventual teammate Ray Allen were involved in a scuffle that resulted in Dooling being suspended for five games and Allen for three.

[19] He was recalled the next day. [20]

As a member of the Grizzlies, Dooling played his final NBA game on May 27, 2013 in Game Four of the Western Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs. [21]

Coaching career

Utah Jazz (2020–present)

On September 25, 2020, the Utah Jazz announced that they had hired Dooling as player development coach. [24] The Jazz placed Dooling on administrative leave in April 2022 after he was arrested and charged with fraud. [22]

Criminal proceedings

On April 27, 2022, Dooling was arrested on fraud charges stemming from his role in a scheme to defraud the NBA's health and welfare benefit plan. [22] On February 18, 2023, Dooling was sentenced to 30 months in prison. [25]

Personal life

Dooling and his wife, Natosha Dooling, have four children. [26]

In 2012, Dooling suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and was institutionalized for a period of time. Later that year, Dooling publicly disclosed that he is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. [27] On May 1, 2018, Dooling published an essay about his experiences with childhood abuse and with mental health difficulties; the essay, entitled "Running from a Ghost," was published at ThePlayersTribune.com.
