Basketball Star Dedric Willoughby Found Dead, How Did Dedric Willoughby Die?

Dedric Willoughby, a former Hall of Fame basketball player at Iowa State, passed away on Wednesday night while performing his craft. He died while shooting hoops.

A point guard for the Cyclones under Tim Floyd from 1995 to 1997, who later played for Floyd with the Chicago Bulls. Willoughby passed away while playing pick-up basketball close to his Atlanta home.

Floyd, who revealed that Willoughby passed away from a heart attack, said, “Dedric really meant so much to my coaching career and our team.

He had one of the fastest shot releases of anyone I had ever coached, whether they were in college or the NBA. Incredible intensity. He was the fastest shooter I saw from three points away, which was a remarkable talent.

Willoughby averaged 19.8 points per game and became the first player in Iowa State men’s basketball history to score 1,000 points in just two seasons of play.

In 1997, after ranking fourth nationally in 3-pointers made per game (3.8), he was named an All-American.

Willoughby, who was twice named to the All-Big Eight team, was the Big Eight Tournament’s MVP and helped the Cyclones win the conference title in 1996.

After his second season, I went to go to Iowa State, and his mother called me,” Floyd recalled. “She said, ‘When you recruited him, you said that you’re going to take care of him, so I expect you to take him with you to Iowa State.'”

But I made a promise. “I really wasn’t sure he was good enough for what we had to do and who we had to play against.”
