Coaching career

Boyle was hired at Cal on April 15, 2005, after serving three seasons as head coach at Richmond. While at California, her teams emerged as one of the Pac-10's statistical leaders. In 2007–08, Cal ranked among the top-five teams in 13 categories for the second straight season and was No. 1 in four areas. For the third consecutive year, Cal established school records for field goal percentage defense (35.1%, 1st Pac-10) and scoring defense (54.3 ppg, all-time Pac-10 record). Cal's 155 three-pointers made in 2007–08 broke the previous school record of 135, established in 1995–96. During her first Cal season in 2005–06, Boyle led a freshman-dominated Bears team to an 18–12 overall record, a sixth-place showing in the Pac-10 (10–8) and the school's first NCAA Tournament bid since 1993.

During the 2009–10 season, Boyle guided the Bears to their first title in the WNIT, defeating the Miami Hurricanes 73–61 at the Bears' home court in Haas Pavilion.

On April 2, 2010, USA Basketball announced that Boyle was appointed to its board of directors for 2009–2012. The committee is responsible for selecting coaches and athletes for USA Basketball college-aged competitions including the U19 FIBA World Championships. [2]

On March 20, 2018, Boyle announced her retirement from coaching after seven years as the head coach of the University of Virginia's women's team. [3] She initially cited an undisclosed family matter, which she later revealed to The Washington Post as issues relating to her ongoing attempt to finalize the adoption of her 6-year-old Senegalese daughter Ngoty. At the time of her retirement, Boyle was preparing to return to Senegal with her daughter for required paperwork, a process that was expected to take a minimum of several months but could possibly last years. [4] After a total of 15 trips to Senegal, Boyle was able to finalize the adoption, and Ngoty entered the U.S. permanently on August 30, 2019. [5]
