Coaching career
McIntyre started her career at Nevada in 2004, where she was involved in the recruiting process. She moved to USC in 2007, where she was involved in recruiting and NCAA compliance matters.[3]
In 2014, she became an assistant coach working for Chris Gobrecht at Yale. She followed Gobrecht to Air Force in 2015 where she served as an assistant coach, then was promoted to associate head coach in 2018.[6]
In 2024, Gobrecht retired and Air Force named McIntyre as the new head women's basketball coach. In her first season as head coach, McIntyre lead the Falcons to a 7th-place finish in the conference, 18 wins, and only their second ever postseason appearance in the Women's National Invitation Tournament.[1][7]
In 2025, McIntyre led the Falcons to a 9th-place finish in the conference and a 13-17 overall record. However, the Falcons went on a late-season run, winning three of four games in the Mountain West tournament and advancing to the program's first-ever Mountain West championship game. They fell 56-42 to Colorado State. The Falcons were invited to appear in the Women's National Invitation Tournament for only their third time in program history.
