MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin women's basketball head coach Marisa Moseley announced the promotion of Margaret McKeon to the position of associate head coach.

"I am excited to announce the promotion of Margaret McKeon to associate head coach," stated Moseley. "Margaret has brought an immense wealth of knowledge and value to our program.  Her presence and experience has undoubtedly elevated our program both on and off the court!"

McKeon will enter her second season on Wisconsin's sideline in the 2024-25 season. In her first season with the Badgers, McKeon helped lead Wisconsin to its first postseason appearance since 2011.

"I came aboard last year to assist Coach Moseley in her mission to make the UW Women's Basketball program a formidable force in Big Ten Conference," said McKeon. "As associate head coach, I will continue to commit my skills and experience to meet that goal."

Head coach Marisa Moseley played for McKeon while she was the head coach at Boston University, and the duo aided the Terriers to the school's lone NCAA Tournament appearance in 2003.

McKeon has led the helm of two rebuilding projects, as she led successful turnarounds at both Boston University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), and has been a part of five teams that have reached the NCAA Tournament.

While at NJIT from 2007-12, McKeon led a program that transitioned from DII to DI, and guided the Highlanders to tie for second place in the Great West Conference standings in 2012.

During her time in Boston, McKeon led the Terriers from finishing in 10th place in her first season, to winning the America East championship in her fourth. McKeon led BU to return to the championship game in 2004 and strung together three consecutive winning seasons for the first time in over a decade.

Prior to her stops as a head coach, McKeon spent four seasons at George Washington. During her time in D.C, the Colonials posted a 93-31 record and won three Atlantic 10 championships. GW was ranked 10th in the nation and advanced to the Division I tournament's Elite Eight in 1996-97.

McKeon also served as an assistant coach at Houston from 1993-95 and was instrumental in signing the 10th-ranked recruiting class in the nation in 1994.
The Queens, N.Y. native got her coaching career started at Arizona State, where she helped the Sun Devils reach the NCAA Tournament in her first season on staff during the 1991-92 season.

McKeon was a standout on the court during her playing days, as she competed for both Oklahoma and St. John's. McKeon was a team captain and All-Big East honoree at St. John's and set the Big East single-game assist record with 18, a record that still holds today.

She also served as the girl's athletic director and head basketball coach at Xaverian High School from 2016-19, and has most recently worked in property management.
