Professional career

Upon becoming a professional, Maloy was drafted by the Boston Celtics of the NBA, but he rejected the NBA draft and played three seasons in the ABA instead, with the Virginia Squires and the Dallas Chaparrals. He later played professionally with UBSC Vienna in the Austrian League.[2]

National team career

After he became a naturalized citizen of Austria in 1980, Maloy was a member of the senior Austrian national team.[2]

After basketball

Upon ending his pro basketball club playing career in Austria, Maloy coached Austrian youth teams. He also taught history at the American International School Vienna, where he coached a team as well.[2]
