Clemson, SC - Bobby Hussey, who served Clemson as an assistant basketball coach for five years under two different head coaches, passed away Tuesday afternoon after suffering a heart attack. Hussey had been suffering health problems for the last couple of years as a result of Alzheimer's Disease. He was in a medical facility in Charlotte at the time of the heart attack.
Hussey first came to Clemson as an assistant coach under Cliff Ellis for the 1989-90 season. The Tigers finished that season with a 26-10 record, including a 10-4 record and first place finish in the ACC. That is the only Clemson team to win the ACC regular season championship. That team led by Elden Campbell and Dale Davis, went on to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
