Reggie Elliot Geary (born August 31, 1973) is an American former professional basketball guard^[1] for the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers (1996–97) and San Antonio Spurs (1997–98). Since 2011 he has coached several teams in Japan's professional basketball leagues.^[2]^[3]

Geary played college basketball at the University of Arizona under head coach Lute Olson. As a player at Arizona, the Wildcats had a 104–23 (.819) record, two Pac-10 Conference championships, and an appearance in the 1994 Final Four. He remains Arizona's fourth all-time steals leader (208) and sixth all-time leader in assists (560). Aside from his NBA career, Geary played two seasons in the Continental Basketball Association (1998 to 2000), and in Israel, Portugal, France and Ukraine.^[4] He played with the jersey number 2 or 4.

In 2005, Geary became recruiting and basketball operations coordinator at Arizona, working under Lute Olson.^[4] He then became head coach of the NBA D-League's Anaheim Arsenal for 18 months, before returning to Olson's staff as an assistant coach in 2008.^[5]^[6] From 2009 to 2011, Geary was an assistant coach at Southern Methodist University under head coach Matt Doherty.^[7]

In 2012, Geary was named coach of the year while at the helm for the Japanese professional basketball league's Yokohama B-Corsairs.^[3] The following season, Geary led the B-Corsairs to the league title, becoming the league's first foreign-born coach to win the championship.^[8]

He left the B-Corsairs at the end of the 2012–13 season due to the club's financial difficulties. In July 2013 he signed to coach the Chiba Jets, a team which was moving from the bj-league to the National Basketball League during the same off-season.^[9] After an 18–36 record in 2013–14, Geary led the Jets to the NBL playoffs in 2014–15 with a 34–20 record.^[10]
