June Daugherty, former University of Washington women's basketball coach, died on Monday in Boise, Idaho, reportedly from heart issues that continually put her health in question for much of her professional career. She was 64.
In 2007, Daugherty was fired after 11 seasons with the Huskies, even after a winning season that brought an NCAA tournament berth, and was immediately hired by Washington State.
Two months following her UW dismissal, Daugherty suffered a heart attack while she sat in her vehicle outside a medical clinic north of Seattle, where she was being treated for cardiomyopathy. She had left and returned to the facility after an in-office procedure.
The then-50-year-old Daugherty recovered and was able to coach the Cougars for 11 seasons before taking a medical leave of absence and not returning following the 2017-18 season.
Daugherty, a former Ohio State basketball standout, coached alongside her husband, Mike, throughout her career, which began for her as a head coach at Boise State.
At the UW, she had the challenging task of replacing the highly successful Chris Gobrecht, was well liked and seemed to do well.
In Daugherty's 11 seasons in Seattle, she compiled a 191-139 record and guided the Huskies to six NCAA appearances. In 2001, she coached the UW to NCAA victories over Old Dominion, Florida and Oklahoma before losing to Southwest Missouri State in the West Regional final.
