Roy Danforth, Jr. (born January 12, 1936),[1][2] a native of Summitville, Indiana, was the head basketball coach at Syracuse from 1968 to 1976. During his tenure, he compiled a 148–71 (.676) record. In his final four years as a coach, his teams went to the NCAA tournament, including an appearance in the Final Four in 1975. He was credited with rebuilding the Syracuse program, and gave the Orange a terrific home-court advantage. He played college basketball at Southern Mississippi where he scored over 1,000 points and was a 75% career free-throw shooter.

Danforth left Syracuse to succeed Charles Moir at Tulane on April 5, 1976. He signed a three-year contract with a $30,000 annual salary.[3] He was replaced at Syracuse by Jim Boeheim two days prior on April 3.[4] He announced on February 16, 1981 his resignation as Green Wave head coach at the conclusion of the season. He stayed at the university as its assistant athletic director.[5] He was replaced as head coach by Ned Fowler on March 17, 1981.[6] Following his tenure at Tulane, Danforth accepted the athletic director position at Fairleigh Dickinson University.[7]
