CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — Boston College women’s basketball head coach Kate Popovec-Goss has named Matt Manley the program’s director of basketball operations.
“I am thrilled to join this excellent staff and group of dedicated student athletes in the Heights”, said Manley. “I am honored to be part of the tradition, faith, and service at BC. My goal is to ensure that every detail on and off the court is executed with excellence so our staff and players can focus entirely on winning in the ACC.”
Manley joins the Eagles following four years at Bradley, where he played a key role behind the scenes in the program’s daily function. After starting as a video coordinator in 2022, he moved into the director of operations role, taking on responsibilities that included organizing team travel, coordinating schedules, and ensuring the program ran smoothly on a day-to-day basis. He also contributed to scouting preparation and supported the overall development of student-athletes.
Before his time at Bradley, Manley was a graduate assistant at Mount Vernon Nazarene, where he gained coaching experience while overseeing the junior varsity team. During that stretch, he was part of a staff that helped produce several all-conference selections, including NAIA All-American honorable mention Maggie Coe.
A native of Ohio, Manley earned his undergraduate degree in business administration from Youngstown State in 2020 and later completed his master’s degree at Mount Vernon Nazarene in 2022. He has also spent time working with the Youngstown State men’s basketball program and served in an administrative role at Leetonia Exempted Village Schools. Manley brings a well-rounded background in operations and player support, along with a strong emphasis on organization and program growth.
