Source-derived summary

Maryalyce Jeremiah (born March 4, 1943) is an American former basketball coach and executive. From the late 1960s to early 1980s, Jeremiah was a high school coach before she continued her experience at Cedarville College and the University of Dayton. With Dayton, her team were the runner-ups at the 1979 AIAW National Small College Basketball Championship and won the 1980 AIAW National Division II Basketball Championship. While at Indiana University between 1980 and 1986, her team reached the regional semifinals at the 1983 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament. That year, Jeremiah was a coach at the National Sports Festival. After joining Cal State Fullerton in 1985, her team was in the second round of the 1991 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament.

During this time period with Fullerton, she received two Big West Conference Women's Basketball Coach of the Year awards and the Carol Eckman Award. Between 1991 and 2003, Jeremiah stopped coaching to work as a women's administrator and associate athletic director with Fullerton.

After resuming coaching in 2003, Jeremiah had a combined total of 440 wins and 348 losses in women's basketball upon ending her career in 2009.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as american basketball coach. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q124021682. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1943, 1979, 1980 and 1986.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
