Maureen Magarity has taken on the role of head coach for the University of Vermont women's basketball team, joining her husband, John Becker, who has led the men's team since 2011. This unique situation makes them the first husband-wife duo coaching Division I basketball programs in the same facility. Magarity, who was appointed on April 13, brings a wealth of experience, including a coaching record of 218-196 and a previous accolade as the Kay Yow National Coach of the Year in 2017. The couple's relationship, which blossomed through their shared involvement in basketball, is now evolving as they balance their professional responsibilities along with family life. They are committed to fostering a strong community among their teams and are excited about the potential for both programs. Becker, who has been Vermont's men's coach for over a decade, expressed confidence in Magarity's ability to elevate the women's program, which recently achieved an America East title and its third NCAA Tournament appearance in four years. Together, they aim to create a supportive environment while navigating the challenges of coaching two Division I teams.
