Ernest Joseph "EJ" Gallup (born September 26, 1981 in Gloversville , New York ) is a retired American basketball player. Gallup played from the beginning of 2007 until the end of the BBL season 2007/08 for the German first division club ratiopharm Ulm and briefly at the beginning of the 2011/12 season for the TBB Trier.
Gallup first studied in his native US state at the University at Albany , where he was active for the Great Danes team , which only switched to Division I of the NCAA in 1999 . Was changed as the coach of the Great Danes in the 2001/02 season, Gallup left in December 2001, the Great Danes and continued his studies at the Coastal Carolina University near Myrtle Beach ( South Carolina fort), where his father owned a house. There he was active in the following two seasons for the Chanticleers in the Big South Conference .
Then Gallup wanted to start a professional career and signed a contract with the Demon Astronauts from Amsterdam, the Netherlands . Before the start of the season, however, he left the club while the Dutch insisted on fulfilling the contract and enforced a two-year suspension from Gallup. After the two-year ban had expired, those responsible for trainer Mike Taylor in Ulm were so convinced of Gallup's qualities, in particular his accurate three-point throw , despite the lack of match practice , that they gave him a contract in March 2007, which in May 2007 for the following season was extended. As part of the supporting program of the BBL All-Star Games 2008, Gallup won the three-point throwing competition. After the end of the season, his contract was not renewed and Gallup returned to his home country, where he initially ran a restaurant in Myrtle Beach. After he sold this and returned to his homeland Gloversville, he became active again as a professional in the minor league IBL with the Albany Legends in January 2011.
At the beginning of the 2011/12 BBL season he played again in the German basketball league with the TBB from Trier . However, it was not possible to agree on an extension of the fixed-term contract beyond the end of November, so Gallup plans to work as a trainer at a US university in the future.
