The Alberta, Ala., native began his Alabama career as a walk-on with an academic scholarship before earning an athletic scholarship for his sophomore season. He was an integral part of Alabama's `Elite Eight' run in 2004, starting every game at point guard. That season was the third consecutive in which he led the Tide to the NCAA Tournament after making appearances in 2002 and 2003. He began his coaching career serving as an office assistant in the UA basketball office while attending graduate school in 2005-06 before accepting the full-time position as an assistant coach at Jacksonville State. Following his graduation from the Capstone with a degree in biology, Pettway played professionally for the Huntsville Flight of the NBA Developmental League and the Kentucky Reach of the World Basketball Association. While with the Reach, he was named the league's Rookie of the Year in 2004. Pettway is married to the former Kim Minor, also a University of Alabama graduate. The couple has one son, Kingston. |
