McHugh to Coach ABL’s StingRays
Maura McHugh, who coached women’s basketball at Oklahoma and Arizona State for 13 years, is expected to be named coach of the American Basketball League’s Long Beach StingRays today.
McHugh was 142-70 at Oklahoma in the 1980s and most recently was 84-84 in six seasons at Arizona State, resigning in 1993.
The StingRays, the ABL’s first expansion team, play a 44-game season beginning in October, with Long Beach State’s Pyramid their home court.
In May, the team was given the league’s first draft choice and it picked Chicago native Yolanda Griffith, a European star in recent seasons.
