Anthony Tucker, like most basketball players, had a basketball journey with a lot of ups and downs.  Anthony was standout shooting guard at Minnetonka High School (finalist for Minnesota Mr. Basketball). After extensive recruiting and offers out of high school, he chose the University of Iowa in the Big Ten.  After some ups and downs including some legal troubles, Anthony left Iowa and red-shirted at Div 2 Minnesota State University – Moorhead.  The red shirt year provided Anthony a total re-set and a greater appreciation for basketball and he went on to earn All-Conference and All-Region honors and led his team in scoring. 

Tucker’s professional basketball career spanned more than 10 years across nine countries, including an MVP award, scoring title, and multiple assist titles. He also coached briefly in Taiwan and then played in the NBA G League for the Windy City Bulls. He is now the founder of Hoop Habits and the Head Varsity Girls Coach at Holy Family Catholic High School.
