Coaching career
Jacksonville (2013–2023)
Haney's collegiate coaching career began in 2013 when he was hired as an assistant coach for the Jacksonville Dolphins women's basketball program. Prior to his arrival at Jacksonville, Haney had served as a boys and girls high school basketball coach in Central Florida for several years.[1] Haney became the head coach at Jacksonville in 2018, following the departure of former coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin to the University of Mississippi.[1]
Jacksonville and Haney mutually agreed to a separation following the 2022–23 season.[2]
Georgetown (2023–present)
In 2023, incoming Georgetown head coach Tasha Butts hired Haney as her associate head coach.[3] He became the team's interim head coach in September 2023 when Butts took a leave of absence from the program due to her breast cancer treatment.[4]
Following Butts' death in October 2023, the university confirmed that Haney would remain the interim coach for the entire season.[4] Haney led the Hoyas to their first-ever appearance in the Big East women's basketball tournament championship game, their first victory over a ranked opponent since 2016, and a berth in the inaugural Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament.[5]
Haney's role as head coach was made permanent in March 2024.[6]
