Tight bond: Maureen Magarity joins husband at Vermont
Holy Cross coach Maureen Magarity cheers on her squad as the Crusaders take on American in the Patriot League Tournament. Vermont is hiring former Holy Cross coach Maureen Magarity to be its new women's basketball coach, On3 reported Monday.
Magarity's husband is John Becker, who has been the head coach of the Vermont men's team since 2011.
It is believed to be the first time in NCAA Division I history that the coaches of a program's men's and women's basketball teams are married.
Magarity, 45, replaces Alisa Kresge, who departed on Saturday to become the new head coach at Richmond.
Kresge is the winningest coach in Catamounts history, compiling a 145-89 record with three NCAA Tournament berths in eight seasons.
Magarity has a career record of 218-196 at New Hampshire (2010-20) and Holy Cross (2020-24). Her last two teams at Holy Cross reached the NCAA Tournament. She was the Patriot League Coach of the Year in 2022 and the America East Coach of the Year in 2017.
