  • Chaka Daley • Head Coach • 11Th Season
    Chaka Daley • Head Coach • 11th Season Entering his second decade at the helm of his alma mater, Chaka Daley is steadily building a tradition of excellence at Providence Col- lege. Daley, who was appointed the third head coach in the history of the program just prior to the start of preseason on July 18, 2000, has led the Friars to the NCAA Tournament three times during the last five years. The 2009 campaign was another successful season for Providence as it registered a 10-7-3 record and posted its fifth consecutive win- ning season for the first time since 1983-87. Providence recorded three consecutive victories to complete the regular season and earned a spot in the BIG EAST Championship. Providence then posted road wins at Villanova and at No. 8 Connecticut. It marked Providence’s first win at UConn since 1984. In addition, the win was the fifth consecutive triumph and it also marked the first time since 1984 that the Friars won five straight games. In 2008, Providence finished with a 9-7-3 overall record, advanced to the BIG EAST Quarterfinals, but fell just short of a fourth consecutive NCAA Tournament berth. The Friars posted victories over three ranked teams, including No. 10 Connecticut. It marked PC’s first win over UConn since 1997. The Friars, who were ranked as high as 17th nationally, recorded their fourth-consecutive winning season. In 2007, the Friars finished with a 9-8-2 overall record and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in school history. In addition, the Friars posted a 5-4-2 record in the BIG EAST.
