Kevin McManaman
PROFILE
Years of experience : 16 Years
Last College association : University of Illinois - Chicago
Kevin comes to Blue Star Basketball with nearly 20 years of collegiate coaching experience - most recently a seven year stint at the University of Illinois - Chicago. McManaman worked with the Flames' guards while serving as the recruiting coordinator along with various scouting duties.
UIC's guard play was a strength since his arrival with Chrissy Dizon going from walk-on to two-time All-Horizon League recipient and LaShonda Grant blossoming into the team's leading scorer en route to all-league accolades her sophomore, junior and senior years.
In his tenure with the Flames, McManaman has helped develop 1,000 career-point players LaShonda Grant, Krystal Hugelier and Jacquay Holmes.
McManaman helped guide the Flames' to a record breaking year in 2006-07. UIC tabbed school records in consecutive wins (11) and most victories in a season (19). UIC also made its first-ever postseason trip in a WNIT appearance against Minnesota.
McManaman's impact on the Flames was felt immediately as he helped the squad to 17 wins and a second-place finish in the Horizon League in his first year. UIC's league finish in 2002-03 was its highest in school history while its 11 league wins tied the school high-water mark.
Prior to UIC, McManaman served two seasons as an assistant coach at Marquette University. While working for the Golden Eagles, McManaman responsibilities included scouting, conditioning, administrative duties as well as serving as the Camp Director for Marquette's girl's basketball camp.
Prior to his stint with Marquette, McManaman served as the assistant women's basketball coach at St. Mary's (MN) from 1993 to 2000. During his tenure, McManaman served as the recruiting coordinator and coached guards.
McManaman, a native of LaGrange, Illinois and a graduate of Lyons Township, resides with his wife in Illinois.
