Might Not have been a ton of interest Knows the NE possibly the best available option 2020-21 season is uncertain due to the virus
not suggesting it would be a great choice but not a bad selection and offers a fresh start

146-155 Her worst years were the last two Strange hire Well, quoting her bio, "she went 26-7 in 2016-17, the first AmEast title for the program."
In other words, UNH is about as much of a wasteland on the women's side as it is on the men's.
In that context, a ~.500 record is pretty successful. She also spent a few years in the PL as an assistant, so she has that familiarity.
Doesn't seem that strange to me. Seems like a perfectly reasonable candidate. Certainly not Geno Auriemma, but in general the kind of profile I would have expected.

If it is true, she will coach against her dad who coaches Army.

Her dad is a really good guy Met him in 81 at a DC HS game-St John’s vs Gonzaga John Griffin(St Joe’s), Seth Greenberg(Pitt), Dave Maggarity (St Francis) and Pete Gillen (ND) and I enjoyed Pizza and a beer after the game I think Tom K was at the game as well- Can’t remember who we all were watching play

When you don't have a clue, it's best not to post. I have watched PL women's games for almost 30 years and watched a number of Magarity's games in recent years since I live close to West Point. For a four-year span, he had one of the top two players in PL history, and the PL was generally weak during that time period. Thus he ran up a really good W-L record during that time without having to do hardly any coaching. However the past few years - even with one of the league's top three players - they haven't done very well. And next year is likely to be poor as well. More importantly, if you watch his teams, they generally aren't well-coached. He is not well-regarded as a coach around the PL. Prior to his time at Army, he was a very mediocre coach for the men at Marist (except when he had Rik Smits) and was ultimately fired.

I'm underwhelmed if indeed it's Magarity but who knows, maybe the lack of any bball culture at UNH held her back - for sure, we can all say she will have more to work with at HC in terms of facilities and institutional support.Can't help but think ADMB would have extended a wider net if we did not have the virus hanging over everyone.

Basically everyone at the low levels of College Basketball are fired or they leave for a better gig. Getting fired isn't abnormal.

UNH is a fully funded basketball program with lesser academic standards. All she gets at Holy Cross is a flashier office and a practice gym. She had a gym at UNH that was only shared with two other teams (Volleyball and Men's Hoops). Don't make this out like the Hart Center is the Taj Mahal of low level D-1 hoops.

Lets take the credit away from because he didn't do any coaching. Magarity led Army to unprecedented success with six consecutive winning seasons starting in the 2012-13 season and continuing through the 2017-18 season. During the stretch, Army reached the Patriot League semifinals five straight years. Magarity guided the Black Knights to a stretch of five years in a row with 20 wins or more with his most successful season coming in 2015-16 when Army finished a program best and appeared in its fourth NCAA Tournament after capturing the Patriot League Tournament title.

I'm moving into the positive side on this hire - she's 39 yrs old and has been in coaching since the day she graduated from Marist - I'm sure ADMB vetted her thoroughly and received solid recommendations. HC is a better job than UNH. Timing is also favorable to start building relationships with the players (albeit remotely) and get going on contacting recruits for 2021.

Bison, after attending several games at West Point, what is your analysis of why Kelsey Minato was such an effective scorer? She wasn't physically imposing, faster than a speeding bullet or able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, yet she lit up Christl Arena like few ever have.

Doesn't the "live free and die" State have nepotism laws for State Employees? If HC has anti- nepotism rules and a hiring freeze, would we be making two exceptions to the rules to hire a coach with a losing record while gearing up to furlough other employees on July 1st? Sounds a bit off. Perhaps the husband won't accompany her. Doesn't sound like good employee relations in a non union shop to hire two from one family while laying off existing workers.
