Douglas Mcarthur Day, Jr. (born February 17, 1972) is an American high school basketball coach and former college basketball player.
At 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m), Day played the shooting guard position for Radford University between 1989 and 1993. He was a prolific three-point field goal shooter; at the time of his graduation, his 401 made three-pointers were the most in NCAA Division I history, breaking the prior mark of 363 set by Loyola Marymount's Jeff Fryer in 1990.[1] Day led the nation in threes made per game as a junior when he connected for 4.03 per contest.[2] That season, he led the Highlanders to their first Big South Conference men's basketball regular season championship; it was also the second of back-to-back 20-win seasons.[2]
In each of Day's four seasons he was named to an All-Big South team.[1] He graduated in 1993 as the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,027 points, which through the 2024–25 season is still the record.[1] Day also set the still-standing Radford record for points in a game with 43, which he achieved on December 12, 1990 against Central Connecticut State.[1] He holds many of the three-point records at Radford as well, including makes in a game (11, twice), season (117) and career (401); and attempts in a game (19), season (314), and career (1,068).[3]
Day was inducted into the Radford University Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Big South Conference Hall of Fame in 2005.[2][4]
