Robert Lee McCoy (November 28, 1934 – July 2, 2016) was an American basketball player and coach. He was born in Longville, Louisiana, and attended Beauregard Parish Training School in nearby DeRidder. McCoy played college basketball for the Grambling State Tigers from 1953 to 1957. He set a Louisiana state record for rebounds in a single game when he grabbed 34 during a 1954 game against Tougaloo College. McCoy was selected by the Detroit Pistons as the 10th overall pick of the 1957 NBA draft and became the first black player from Louisiana to be drafted into the National Basketball Association (NBA). Pistons head coach Charley Eckman asserted that "even such a highly regarded prospect as McCoy" would find it difficult to make the team's 10-player roster and McCoy ultimately never played in the NBA.
