WATCH MCLAUGHLIN'S INTRODUCTORY PRESS CONFERENCE (Wed., 11 a.m.)

HANOVER, N.H. – Northeastern men's basketball associate head coach Dave McLaughlin was announced as the head coach of Dartmouth College Monday. McLaughlin becomes the 28th head coach in the history of the program.
 
Dartmouth will officially introduce McLaughlin on Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. in a press conference that will be streamed live via Big Green Insider on the Ivy League Digital Network for free.
 
McLaughlin becomes the third assistant coach under the direction of Northeastern head coach Bill Coen who has directly gone on to a collegiate head coaching position joining Pat Duquette the current head coach of UMass-Lowell and John Rhodes former head coach of Ohio Northern.
 
The Brockton, Mass. native spent the last three seasons as the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator at Northeastern where he helped coach three different Northeastern players to five All-CAA honors, including Scott Eatherton who was named CAA Defensive Player of the Year in 2013-14.
 
"I could not be happier or more excited to have the privilege of leading the Dartmouth men's basketball program," McLaughlin said. "The opportunity to work at an elite institution with tremendous student-athletes has always been a goal. The Dartmouth community provides its athletes this type of unique academic and athletic experience. The leadership in place and commitment to excellence in the athletic department is palpable, and it is a work environment that I am thrilled to be part of. I am looking forward to building relationships with the players as we begin our process of building a winning program."
 
In just his second year at Northeastern, McLaughlin helped the Huskies turn an 11-21 record during the 2013-14 season into a share of the CAA regular season title and a first ever CAA tournament championship title in 2014-15. The Huskies also made their return to the NCAA tournament for the first time in 24 years. Northeastern finished 23-12 on the season, playing in a school record 35 games.
 
"I could not imagine a more perfect fit than Dartmouth College basketball and Coach David McLaughlin," said Northeastern head coach Bill Coen. "I am so excited and happy for David, his family, and the Dartmouth College community."
 
McLaughlin already has 189 career victories under his belt as he came to Northeastern prior to the 2013-14 season from Stonehill College, where he amassed the most wins in program history.
 
A two-time Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10) and NABC Northeast District Coach of the Year at Stonehill, was the men's basketball program's all-time wins leader with 189 over nine seasons.
 
He re-established the Skyhawks as a conference and regional power with a 189-99 (.656) overall record, including a 135-80 (.630) mark in NE-10 play. McLaughlin guided Stonehill to six 20 win seasons, including a program-record 27 victories during the team's 2005-06 NCAA Division II national semifinal run; five NCAA tournament bids, including a school-record four-straight bids from 2008 to 2012; two east regional championships; the program's first NE-10 tournament championship since 1989; and the NE-10 regular season title in 2009-10.
 
McLaughlin oversaw a program that produced 14 All-NE-10 Conference performers, including three first-team selections. He also mentored a two-time Capital One Academic All-District honoree, as well as a player who received the NCAA Elite 89 Award for having the highest cumulative grade point average among the teams competing at the 2012 Division II Elite Eight.
 
He produced three-straight NE-10 Defensive Players of the Year to highlight the program's regular place atop the NE-10 and NCAA Division II defensive charts. Three Skyhawks earned NE-10 All-Rookie Team status during his tenure.
 
Prior to Stonehill, McLaughlin served as an assistant coach at Wesleyan University for two seasons. He also spent time on the Suffolk University staff and was the head coach of the gold-medal-winning Northeast entry of the 1999 Bay State Games. McLaughlin served as a head coach at the Collegiate Basketball Invitational for four years, coaching top Division II senior players.
 
McLaughlin was a four-year letterwinner at Colby College, graduating in 1997 with a degree in history and going on to earn his Master of Education from Suffolk in 1999. In May 2000, McLaughlin earned partial certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association and is a member of the National Association of Basketball Coaches and the NSCA.
