It is unclear if Joey Meyer had children or not. There is no information about his children on the Internet as he kept his personal life away from the limelight.

Joey Meyer’s basketball journey began as a player under the guidance of his father, Ray Meyer, at DePaul. From 1968 to 1971, he showcased his skills on the court, averaging an impressive 16.4 points in 75 games. Although drafted by the Buffalo Braves in 1971, Meyer never made an appearance in a league game. Instead, he found his true calling on the sidelines, serving as an assistant to his father for 11 seasons.

Upon Ray Meyer’s retirement in 1984, Joey Meyer took the reins as the head coach of the DePaul Blue Demons. In his 13 seasons at the helm, he compiled a record of 231-158, leaving an indelible mark on the program.

Under his leadership, DePaul made NCAA tournament appearances in each of his first five seasons, reaching the Sweet 16 in 1986 and 1987. Meyer’s coaching prowess was evident in the talent he developed, including notable players like Rod Strickland, David Booth, and Tom Kleinschmidt.
