Mike McGarvey is an American basketball coach who is the current head coach of the Lafayette Leopards men's basketball team.[1]
Playing career[edit]
McGarvey played college basketball at Ursinus he finished fourth on the school's all-time scoring list and was a two-time Centennial Conference Player of the Year in 2005 and 2006.[1][2] He also was a NABC Division III All-American during the 2005–06 season.[3] His No. 11 is retired by the school and he was inducted into the Ursinus Athletic Hall of Fame in 2016.[4]
Coaching career[edit]
After graduating, McGarvey joined his alma mater's coaching staff for five seasons, where he was part of Ursinus' 2008 NCAA Division III Final Four team. He'd then join the Division I ranks as an assistant to Matt Langel at Colgate in 2011 and would stay on staff until 2018 when he accepted the head coaching position at a Division III institution Lycoming.[5] In his four seasons at the helm of the Warriors, McGarvey guided the team to a 53–36 overall record which included both MAC Commonwealth and MAC Freedom conference tournament titles, and a trip to the 2020 NCAA Tournament.[6][7]
In 2022, McGarvey accepted the role as assistant coach under Mike Jordan at Lafayette. In February of 2023, Jordan was placed on paid leave due to a complaint filed against him and McGarvey was named the interim head coach.[8] During his time as an interim head coach, McGarvey guided the Leopards to a 2–3 record, which included two wins in the 2023 Patriot League conference tournament, as Lafayette reached the championship game before falling to Colgate 79–61.[9]
On March 29, 2023, after the conclusion of investigation into the complaint, Jordan was fired. The interim tag was lifted and McGarvey became the permanent head coach at Lafayette.[10][11]
