Jannero Pargo (born October 22, 1979) is an American professional basketball coach and former player who serves as an assistant coach for the Indiana Pacers of the National Basketball Association (NBA).

College career

Graduating from Chicago's Paul Robeson High School in 1998, Pargo played collegiately for the University of Arkansas after transferring from Neosho County Community College in Chanute, Kansas in 2000.[1] Jennero was known at Arkansas for casually dribbling across the half court line and burying a deep 3-pointer. He produced several 30 point games during his tenure and was ahead of his time by firing up 3-pointers from anywhere on the floor, and hitting them, which has become commonplace in the NBA.
