Daniel "Danny" Shouse (born October 23, 1958) is an American former professional basketball player who won two Icelandic championships with Úrvalsdeild club Njarðvík in 1981 and 1982.[1][2]
He set the Icelandic single game scoring record in 1979 when he scored 100 points in a Division I game.[3][4]
College
Shouse played for Peru State College from 1977 to 1979 and left as their all-time leading scorer with 1867 points.[5] He was inducted into the schools hall of fame in 1998.[6]
Playing career
Shouse joined Icelandic Division I club Ármann in 1979. He first played during the Reykjavík basketball tournament, where he scored 64 and 70 points in his first two games.[7]
On December 1, 1979, Shouse scored 100 points for Ármann in an Icelandic Division I game against Skallagrímur, setting the Icelandic single game scoring record.[3][4]
In January 1980 he scored 76 points in an overtime loss against Grindavík [8] and in February he broke the 70 point barrier again, scoring 72 points against Þór Akureyri.[9] His scoring prowess helped Ármann win Division I and achieve promotion to the Úrvalsdeild.[4] Even though Shouse played in the nations tier 2 league during his first season, he was widely regarded as one of the best players in the country.[10][11]
After the season, Shouse signed with Úrvalsdeild club Njarðvík and helped them win two Icelandic championships, in 1981 and 1982.[1][2] He led the Úrvalsdeild in scoring both years[12][13] and was named the 1981 Úrvalsdeild Foreign Player of the Year.[14]
Coaching career
Shouse was a player-coach for Njarðvík during the 1980-1981 season, leading them to a 17-3 record and the national championship.[1][15] He coached Njarðvík's women's team during the 1981-1982 Úrvalsdeild kvenna season.[16]
Personal life
Shouse was raised in a home with 13 siblings.[17] Two of his brothers also played in the Úrvalsdeild. Darrell Shouse played for Fram Reykjavík during the later half of the 1979-1980 season, averaging 21,3 points per game[18][19], and Douglas Shouse played the first half of the 1990-1991 season, averaging 27,9 points and 7,6 rebounds.[20][21] His son, Derek Daniel Shouse, played for Körfuknattleiksfélag ÍA in the Icelandic Division I from 2016 to 2017.[22][23][24]
