Scott Drapeau (born July 25, 1972) is an American former basketball player known for his collegiate career at the

North Atlantic Conference selection, and as a junior in 1993–94 was named the NAC Player of the Year.[1][2]

Prior to UNH, the

power forward is credited with being the cornerstone of the two most successful seasons in UNH men's basketball history.[3][4] They secured a school-record 19 wins in 1994–95 and went 34–22 between 1993–94 and 1994–95.[3]

Drapeau holds UNH career averages of 23.0 points and 9.8 rebounds, which are second and fourth all-time, respectively, as of the end of the 2012–13 season.[2] He has the top two single season scoring records with 648 and 642 points.[2] He tried to pursue a professional basketball career as he entered the NBA Draft; however, he had torn his ACL but did not tell his agent, which forced him out of the draft and ended his playing career. As of 2017 he resides in Penacook, New Hampshire with his two daughters, son, and wife. In the fall of 2021 he took over the job of Bow high school Boys varsity coach for basketball [1][5][6] He is employed as an Activities Officer in a Correctional Facility.
