When thinking about women’s basketball in the American Athletic Conference, head coach Geno Auriemma and his undefeated, 11-time NCAA championship team at the University of Connecticut always comes to mind, but Auriemma is not the only exceptional head coach in the AAC.
It’s time to recognize Heather Macy, head coach at East Carolina University, as one of the elite coaches in the AAC.
Unfortunately, there is no actual Coach-of-the-Year award in AAC basketball. Whether there should be or not is a debate for another time but since there isn’t, it’s important to recognize how phenomenal Macy has been this year with the Pirates.
