He was named Alabama Mr. Basketball while attending Phillips High School in Birmingham, Alabama.[1] Coner played college basketball for the Alabama Crimson Tide for four seasons. At the conclusion of his collegiate career, it was determined he had been collegiately ineligible due to making contact with an agent while still enrolled.[2]
