McGuff introduced

Kevin McGuff was introduced Tuesday as Washington’s new women’s basketball coach. He’s charged with turning around a program that has fallen on hard times. McGuff comes to Seattle after nine seasons at Xavier, where he compiled a 213-73 career record. McGuff set a record for most wins in program history, and reached the postseason in each season with the Musketeers, including an appearance in the round of eight a year ago. His five straight NCAA tournament appearances are also a Xavier record. McGuff was given a five-year contract worth an average of $475,000 per season. The Ohio native replaces Tia Jackson, who resigned last month after four lackluster seasons in Seattle.
