One of just seven Maroon men's basketball players to have his number retired, Scott completed his illustrious playing career as the team's fifth all-time leading scorer. A two-time All-American selection, the Lynchburg, VA native scored 1,609 points in his time as a Maroon, averaging 15.2 points per game. Upon his graduation from the college, Scott was also the 10th all-time leading rebounder and also ranked fifth in career steals and eighth in career assists. Following his senior season, Scott was named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference Player of the Year and went on to earn First Team All-American honors.
As a Maroon, Scott was named to All-Tournament teams 10 times and was the MVP of five different tournaments. After a three-year professional playing stint in Europe, Scott returned to Salem to be an assistant with the Maroons and subsequently made the jump to the Division I coaching ranks. In four years, Scott led the Maroons to a 74-32 overall record, one ODAC championship, and one berth in the NCAA postseason.
