Harvard-Westlake basketball coach Melissa Hearlihy is stepping down after posting 839 career victories.
Melissa Hearlihy, a pioneer coach in California high school girls basketball with 839 career victories, announced Monday she is retiring after 39 seasons of coaching. 'So emotional,' she said, her voice breaking, after telling her players at Harvard-Westlake of her decision. Hearlihy began coaching in 1985 and created a powerhouse program at Bishop Alemany, winning three Southern Section titles. She came to Harvard-Westlake in 2000 and continued to develop top teams and top players.
Hearlihy said the last month living near the Huntington Beach harbor, enjoying the water and playing golf made her realize it was time to step away and enjoy life in ways without coaching. She told her players, 'I finally graduated high school after 40 years.' They didn't understand what she was saying until she told them she was retiring. She leaves as the second-winningest girls' basketball coach in California history.
