McLeod played high school basketball at St. Anthony High School in Jersey City.[1]

Roshown at the time was a rare example of a player who transferred from one school to another.[2] McLeod had trouble breaking into the lineup at St. John's.[3] He was the first transfer accepted by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski.[4] In his NBA career, McLeod played in 113 games and scored a total of 817 points. On November 14, 2000, as a member of the Hawks, he scored a career-high 24 points versus the Orlando Magic.

In September 2002, McLeod was named an assistant basketball coach for Fairfield University.[5]

In August 2008, McLeod joined Tom Crean's coaching staff at Indiana University.[6] McLeod was dismissed from IU by Crean on March 7, 2010.[7]

Roshown replaced Dan Hurley at St. Benedict's Preparatory School, an independent school in Newark, New Jersey, after Hurley took the head job at Wagner College in April 2010.[8] He resigned from St. Benedict's in April 2011.[9] In 2016, he was the head coach of Fellowship Christian School, a private school in Roswell, Georgia. As of March, McLeod left Fellowship Christian School for a difference of opinions.
