Army Director of Athletics Boo Corrigan announced today that the U.S. Military Academy has agreed to contract extensions for men’s basketball coach Zach Spiker and women’s basketball coach Dave Magarity. Terms of the agreements were not announced, but the new pacts will keep both coaches on the Army sideline through the 2017-18 season.

“This is a great day for the future of basketball at West Point,” Corrigan said. “Zach and Dave have done tremendous jobs developing their respective programs, and today’s announcement ensures the continuity and stability of both teams for years to come. The men’s and women’s teams achieved at record levels last year, and with the caliber of returning players and recruiting success, the future is bright. We strongly believe that we have the right coaches in place to mentor our cadets and for our programs to compete for Patriot League championships.”

Magarity is in his eighth season as the head coach of Army women’s basketball. He earned the 2013 Patriot League Coach of the Year award after guiding the Black Knights to the conference regular-season crown, including two victories versus Navy. Army made the program’s first WNIT appearance in 2013 while authoring the program’s second-best turnaround in Division I history by increasing its win total from the previous year by eight games.

The 22-9 Black Knights made conference history by sweeping all four of the league’s major awards and set program standards for least number of turnovers and defensive scoring average.Magarity is Army’s all-time leader in Division I victories with a 121-88 record.

His career record stands at 434-423 in 30 years as both a men’s and women’s coach at the Division I level.

“I’m now entering my 31st year as a head coach and I could not be happier,” said Magarity. “To have the continued support of Mr. Corrigan and the administration means a lot to me and this program. Coming off the year we had, I’m excited to have the opportunity to continue to coach at West Point. I feel we’re heading in the right direction towards an NCAA Tournament berth, and I owe a lot of that to the terrific job our coaching staff has done. Associate head coach Colleen Mullen and all of our assistants have done an amazing job recruiting which plays an integral part in exceeding expectations and accomplishing our goals.”
