DETROIT - If you never saw Derrick Coleman play basketball, you missed a real treat. He became a basketball star at Syracuse University and was drafted into the NBA, where he played 15 seasons before retiring in 2005. With his NBA career over, he's still having a huge impact, both on and off the court, in the city he loves. Coleman collaborated with Focus: Hope, a Detroit nonprofit, on a sports camp at the Adams Butzel Complex on Lyndon Street.
