First Ever Father-Daughter Coaching Matchup Happening this Weekend

Just imagine having a daughter who follows in your footsteps of coaching, and then one day, you’d get the chance to coach against her.  That’s the story this weekend, as Army Women’s team Coach Dave Magarity will match up against his daughter Maureen at Holy Cross.

It’s believed to be the first coaching matchup of a father and daughter in Division I history.

“It’s going to be surreal,” said Dave Magarity. “What’s unique about it — it goes without saying that not only is it possibly the first time it’s happened, but we’re in the same league. It’s one thing if we were playing in a tournament or it would have been nice to play in the NCAA Tournament or NIT. We’re in the same league, in this crazy season, we play each other four times.”

This is pretty damn cool.

It’s a shame the rest of their family won’t get to experience this first ever.

Damn you COVID!
