Who is Stephen Stewart?
Stephen Stewart is an American former basketball player and coach. He is 6'5" and played the shooting guard and small forward positions.
Stewart grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and attended Simon Gratz High School. After graduation, he enrolled at Coppin State University to play for head coach Fang Mitchell. He was forced to sit out his freshman season, however, due to the NCAA's Proposition 48. When his collegiate career began as a sophomore in 1992–93, he exploded onto the scene in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference: Stewart led the Eagles to a 1993 MEAC Tournament title, was named the MEAC Tournament Outstanding Performer and was also named the MEAC Rookie of the Year.
Throughout his three-year career, Stewart accumulated 1,393 points and 546 rebounds. In his final two seasons he was a First Team All-MEAC performer, and as a senior in 1994–95 he scored 19 points in a first round victory over Saint Joseph's in the 1995 NIT. This win was Coppin State's first ever in a postseason tournament.
He never played professionally, but for a time he was an assistant coach at the University of Delaware. Stephen Stewart was also later inducted into the MEAC Hall of Fame.
