Ty Harrelson (born September 22, 1980) is an American-Australian former professional basketball player who played the majority of his career in Germany and Australia. He is currently the head coach of the Wayland Baptist men's basketball program. He is the son of former West Virginia University women's basketball coach Scott Harrelson.
Harrelson is the 27th all-time leading scorer in high school basketball for the State of Texas. During his four-year career, he totaled 2,786 points. From 1995 to 1998, Harrelson was a standout for Sonora High School before moving to S. H. Rider High School in Wichita Falls for his senior year.
In 2003, Harrelson became the first ever first-team NAIA All-American for Wayland Baptist University. At WBU, Harrelson broke records for assists in a game (15), season assist average (6.8), season free throw percentage (88.8), consecutive free throws made (43), and was a two-time team Most Valuable Player (2002 and 2003). Harrelson was the Sooner Athletic Conference Player of the Week four times during his career and a 2003 first-team All-SAC member. He was on the Presidents List at WBU, named the Champions of Character Class Representative, and won the Award of Spirit (2003) for his athletic commitment.
After going undrafted in the 2003 NBA draft, Harrelson signed with Bignami Castelmaggiore of Italy for the 2003–04 season. However, after averaging 12.7 points and 7.8 rebounds per game during pre-season matches, he left the team when it was purchased by FuturVirtus. He subsequently did not play professionally in the 2003–04 or 2004–05 seasons.
