Mike McDevitt, the winningest coach in St. Joe’s
women’s basketball program history, returns to his alma mater
after coaching at Southern Maine for the past six seasons.
McDevitt began his career as a head coach at Saint Joseph’s in
1988, when he guided the Lady Monks to a 21-9 record and berth in the
NAIA Tournament. In his first stint at St. Joe’s, which spanned
16 seasons, McDevitt racked up a 326-117 record to go with a .736 winning
percentage, the highest mark achieved in SJC Athletics history. Along
the way, his teams reached the 20-win plateau on seven occasions, won
seven conference titles and made seven appearances in the NAIA national
tournament. McDevitt also collected Maine Athletic Conference Coach
of the Year honors five times (1988, 1990, 1991, 1994 and 1999) and
coached four players who received All-America accolades.
As an assistant at USM for five years, McDevitt helped lead the Huskies
to a 144-14 record, four trips to the NCAA “Sweet Sixteen”
and a pair of appearances in the Final Four. With McDevitt serving as
the interim head coach in 2009, Southern Maine posted a 22-7 record,
won the Little East Conference Championship, and made an NCAA DIII Tournament
appearance.
Prior to his role as the head coach at St. Joe’s, McDevitt served
as an assistant coach for the Monks’ men’s basketball program
for three seasons. He also had stints as the Monks head coach for golf
(1997-2004) and women’s volleyball (1987-92).
As a student-athlete at St. Joe’s, McDevitt played in 103 games
as a four-year starter for the Monks basketball team and scored 1,381
points (11th all-time at St. Joe’s) with 674 rebounds (8th). He
was named All-Conference, All-State and All-District in both 1982 and
1983 and received Western Maine Athletic Conference Player of the Year
honors following the 1983 season. No stranger to success on the hard
court, McDevitt has been a part of 631 wins in 30 years as a player,
assistant, and head coach.
McDevitt, who earned a degree in Business Administration from Saint
Joseph’s, resides in Cumberland, Maine with his wife Margaret,
his daughter Megan, and his sons Michael and Matthew.
