George Larry Conley (born January 22, 1944) is an American retired professional basketball player.
A 6'3" guard, Conley played college basketball at the University of Kentucky under coach Adolph Rupp. During the 1965–66 season, Conley was a starter on a Kentucky team that also featured Tommy Kron and future Basketball Hall-of-Famers Pat Riley and Louie Dampier. The Wildcats lost the championship game of that season's NCAA Tournament 72–65 to Texas Western. This game was the center of the 2006 film Glory Road.
Conley played in the first Kentucky Colonels game of the American Basketball Association before committing to the army.[1] He currently broadcasts college basketball for Fox Sports, after previously performing the same role for ESPN, NBC, CBS, ABC, and Raycom Sports.[2]
