Attarius Norwood (born May 14, 1981)[1] is a retired American professional basketball player and current assistant principal at Crystal Springs Middle School in Mississippi.[2] He is best known for his collegiate basketball career at Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) in which he was named the Southwestern Athletic Conference Player of the Year as a senior in 2003–04.[3] He was a two-time First Team All-SWAC player in 2002–03 and 2003–04, and the Associated Press tabbed him as an honorable mention All-American in 2004.[4] In Norwood's senior season he averaged 14.3 points and 5 rebounds per game en route to the player of the year award.[4]
After graduating from MVSU, Norwood has a brief professional career.
