Harold Arceneaux
American professional basketball player
Harold Arcenaux (born April 1, 1977) is an American former basketball player. He played college basketball at Weber State, and is best known for leading the Wildcats to an upset victory over North Carolina in the 1999 NCAA tournament.
Early career
Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Arceneaux grew up in the B.W. Cooper housing development. At 6-foot-6-inches and 215 pounds, he was an excellent athlete but struggled academically in high school. Because he did not have suitable academic credentials to play basketball at a four-year university, he enrolled at the College of Eastern Utah (CEU), a junior college in Price, Utah.
College career
As a freshman (1996–97), he led CEU to a 28–5 record and the Scenic West Conference regular-season championship. He averaged 17.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, shooting 57.3 percent on field goals and 40.9 percent on three-pointers.
Arceneaux transferred to Midland Junior College in Midland, Texas, for the 1997–98 season. He averaged 17.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game on 64.3 percent shooting, leading his team to a 26–4 record. For his efforts, he earned NJCAA Second Team All-American honors.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Harold Arceneaux” as american professional basketball player. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the people & ideas register because the source frames it as american professional basketball player. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 28, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5659934. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1977, 1999, 1996 and 1997.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
