Women's Basketball Hall of Fame

Edmund Sherod (born September 13, 1959) is an American former professional basketball player.

A 6'2" point guard born in Richmond, Virginia, Sherod played scholastically at John Marshall High School. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) from 1977 to 1981. There, he tallied a then-school record 582 assists and participated in two NCAA men's basketball tournaments.[citation needed] He led the Sun Belt Conference in assists as a junior and senior.[1]

Sherod was selected by the New Jersey Nets in the fourth round of the 1981 NBA draft but cut in the preseason. He played the remainder of the regular season in the Continental Basketball Association with the Lancaster Lightning.[1] He won a CBA championship with the Lightning in 1982.[2] He was selected as the CBA Playoff/Finals Most Valuable Player.[3] Sherod made NBA history by becoming the first-ever player to make his debut in the postseason, in Game 1 with New Jersey against Washington in the 1981 Eastern Conference First Round. Sherod then played one season (1982–83) in the National Basketball Association as a member of the New York Knicks, averaging 6.2 points per game and 4.9 assists per game.

From 1989 to 1990, he served as head coach for VCU's women's basketball team.

Sherod's son played college basketball for Old Dominion and his grandson played at Richmond.[4]
