Howard Jonathan Eisley (born December 4, 1972) is an retired American professional basketball point guard who played in the NBA from 1994 to 2006. Born in Detroit, Eisley played college basketball at Boston College and was drafted in 1994 by the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Early life and college

Eisley graduated from Southwestern High School in Detroit and played for the Boston College Eagles basketball team for four years before being drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second round (30th overall) in 1994. He graduated from Boston College with a degree in communications. In his senior season, Eisley led the Eagles to the eastern regional finals or "Elite Eight" round of the 1994 NCAA tournament and earned regional All-Tournament honors.^[1]

Career

He played for the San Antonio Spurs and Utah Jazz during the 1995 season. He was traded to the Dallas Mavericks during the 2000 season. He was traded to the New York Knicks in 2001. He was traded to the Phoenix Suns in 2003. He was signed as a free agent by the Jazz in 2004. He then played with the Denver Nuggets before being traded to the Chicago Bulls on July 20, 2006 and later waived.^[2]^[3]

In the first half of Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals, Eisley made a 3-point shot that replays clearly showed was released before the shot clock expired; not only that, but his shot was halfway towards the basket with 1 second left on the shot clock. Referee Dick Bavetta mistakenly disallowed the shot.^[4] Jazz coach Jerry Sloan tried to argue the call but was given a technical earlier in the game, forcing Sloan to not risk another. The Chicago Bulls would beat the Utah Jazz in that game 87-86 and win the championship series four games to two.

Eisley is currently an assistant coach of the Los Angeles Clippers, working under head coach Vinny Del Negro.
