West Chester University of Pennsylvania recently recognized the legacies of former women’s basketball coach Deirdre Kane and former men’s basketball coach Dick DeLaney ’69 by dedicating the newly designed Kane DeLaney Court in their honor. With over 800 combined wins, they have profoundly impacted our basketball programs and have shaped the lives of countless student-athletes and alumni, both on and off the court. This celebration and fundraising campaign were made possible through the generosity of West Chester University Athletics, alumni, and friends. Pictured (left to right) at the Kane DeLaney Court ceremony: Back row – Deb Cornelius, Executive Director, WCU Foundation; Damien Blair, Head Coach, Men's Basketball; Terry Beattie, Director of Athletics; Kiera Wooden, Head Coach, Women's Basketball; Matt Marzzacco, Director of Development - Athletics, WCU Foundation.
