College career
The 1975 Indiana "Mr. Basketball" Award winner from Peru High School, where he played for his father, Bob, has chosen Purdue University, coached by head coach Fred Schaus. As a freshman, Macy averaged 13.8 points per game, while the Boilermakers were leading in free throws, shooting.859 percent from the line on the season. He appeared in 25 of 27 games, leading them to their 16-11 season record.
Macy transferred to the University of Kentucky in 1976 after spending his freshman year at Purdue. He started playing at Kentucky in 1977 after being barred from playing in the 1976–77 season as mandated by NCAA rules. Macy was a three-time All-America and three-time All-SEC player during his college career. The 1978 team on which Macy was a starter won the NCAA National Championship in 1978. He was the first Kentucky player to be named consensus Southeastern Conference Player of the Year in 1979-80.
Professional career
Despite being unable to complete a year of college eligibility, Macy was selected with the 20th pick of the 1979 NBA Draft by the Phoenix Suns, even though he had a year of college eligibility remaining. Macy played out his last year of college and the Suns' 1980s debut. Macy spent five years with the Suns, averaging 10.6 points and 4.0 assists per game. Before retiring from basketball, Macy spent one year with the Chicago Bulls (1985-1986) and the Indiana Pacers (1986–87). He played for Dietor Bologna (1987–88) and Benetton Treviso (1988–90). When the NBA All-Star Three Point Contest debuted in 1986, Macy was also one of the first participants.
Macy was a superb free throw shooter throughout his career. He led the NBA in free throw percentages from 1981-82. He holds the University of Kentucky's career free throw shooting percentage record, and his.884 career ranking is second only to Steve Nash (.907) on the Phoenix Suns' career leaders list.
Later career
Macy was head coach of the Morehead State University Eagles of the Ohio Valley Conference for nine years. Macy led the Eagles to 20 victories in 2003, their most in 19 years, as well as a share of the OVC regular season championship. However, the 2004–05 season was much more fruitful, as Morehead failed to qualify for the OVC tournament. Macy managed a team of Sports Reach collegiate all-stars who traveled China and ended with a 7-0 record against several Chinese professional teams after the season. [1] Macy resigned as head coach on February 28, 2006, following a disastrous 4–23 season in 2005–06.
Macy emphasized free throw shooting in his instruction, and the effort paid off as his Morehead State teams were consistently tops in free throw shooting percentages.
Macy took over as head coach of the Lexington Christian Academy Eagles Men's tennis team later in 2006. The Grizzlies had their first winning season since 2003 in their first season. Macy was named general manager of the East Kentucky Miners, the Continental Basketball Association's expansion team based in Pikeville, Kentucky, in November 2007.
