Darby Maggard enters her first season as an assistant women’s basketball coach at UT Martin after serving as a graduate assistant for one season.
In her tenure at UT Martin, the Skyhawks have won one Ohio Valley Conference regular season title and appeared in 2021 Women’s NIT.
She coached two All-OVC first team selections in Chelsey Perry and Dasia Young. Perry was named the 2021 OVC Player of the Year while becoming the program’s first WNBA Draft selection after being taken 26th overall by the Indiana Fever in 2021.
Prior to UT Martin, Maggard was a decorated champion within the Ohio Valley Conference at member school Belmont. While with the Bruins, Maggard led the program to four consecutive OVC Tournament titles, four NCAA Tournament appearances and three regular season championships. She was named the 2019 OVC Player of the Year, Tennessee Sports Writers Association Player of the Year and OVC Female Athlete of the Year while tallying four straight All-OVC first team and OVC All-Tournament team honors for her career.
The All-American and winner of the 2019 State Farm College 3-Point Championship left Belmont as the program’s all-time leader in three-point field goals (430), three-point field goal percentage (43.1 percent) and free throw percentage (92.4 percent). She also became just the fourth player in Bruin history and first in the team’s Division I era to eclipse 2,000 career points (2,031). Additionally, she is the only player in NCAA history to dish out at least 650 career assists while also making more than 400 three-pointers. Her record-breaking career includes league marks for career three-point field goals (430) and consecutive free throws made (45).
Following her standout collegiate career, Maggard spent one season as a professional, inking a contract to play for the Liffey Celtics of the Irish Super League in Ireland.
A prep standout performer at Fort Wayne Canterbury High School, Maggard was the 2015 Indiana Miss Basketball runner-up. She was also named to the Indiana All-Star Team and was a McDonald’s All-America nominee. Other honors included being named the 21 Alive Fort Wayne Girls Basketball Player of the Year, News Sentinel Player of the Year along with four all-area and all-state honors. She set two FWC records with the most points (47) and most assists (17) in a single game while averaging 28.1 points and 7.7 assists per game as a senior. The ESPNW ranked No. 94 prospect led her squad to back-to-back state titles in 2012 and 2013.
Maggard earned her bachelor’s degree from Belmont in 2019 with a degree in psychology.
