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.

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.

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.

The 2011–12 NBA season was the 66th season of the National Basketball Association (NBA), which began with the signing of a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) between the owners of the 30 NBA teams and the NBA's players. The previous CBA, which was ratified in 2005, expired at 12:01 am EDT on July 1, 2011, resulting in a lockout. With the new deal in place, the regular season was shortened from the normal 82 games per team to 66, because of nearly two months of inactivity.

LeBron James was named both the season MVP and the NBA Finals MVP. The NBA regular season would not begin again in December until the 2020–21 NBA season.
