Anthony Allen Stacey (born March 25, 1977) is a retired American basketball player and current head coach for Whitmer High School in Toledo. Stacy played college basketball for Bowling Green University, where he was an all-conference college player. He played professionally for several years in Spain's Liga ACB.

Stacey, a 6'4" small forward from Elyria, Ohio, played college basketball at Bowling Green from 1996 to 2000. Stacey averaged 16.0 points and 7.6 rebounds per game as a freshman and was named Mid-American Conference (MAC) Freshman of the Year. Following an injury-shortened sophomore campaign, Stacey was named first team All-MAC his last two seasons, as well as MAC Player of the Year in 2000. Stacey finished his college career with 1,938 points.[1]

Following graduation from Bowling Green, Stacey headed to Spain where he enjoyed a nine-year professional career in Spain, including stints in Liga ACB for CB Lucentum Alicante, CB Murcia and Baloncesto León.[2]

In 2011, Stacey began coaching the Medina High School Varsity boys basketball team. This was his first head coaching job after spending two years as an assistant at Lorain High School.[3] After three seasons in Medina, Stacey stepped down in April 2014 to pursue a full-time job in the Sandusky City School District. During his tenure, Medina went 41-33 including going 19-7 in his final season. He became one of three boys basketball coaches in Medina County history to reach the regional finals.[4]

In 2012, Stacey was named to Bowling Green's Hall of Honor and had his jersey number retired.[1][5]

In April 2014, he began his coaching job at Sandusky High School.[5] He resigned from this position just two months after accepting the job to take a position with the University of Toledo,[6] where he stayed only six months before resigning for personal reasons.[7]

In 2015, he was named an assistant to the Bowling Green State University men's basketball team, a position he held for five seasons.[8] In 2020 he was named the head coach of Washington Local Schools Whitmer High School, where he serves today.[9]
