Timeline
Michael Earl Neighbors (born March 29, 1969) is an American college basketball coach.
He is currently head coach of the women's basketball team at the University of Arkansas.
Neighbors completed his associate degree at Westark Community College (now the University of Arkansas – Fort Smith) in 1989 and bachelor's degree at the University of Arkansas in 1993.
In 1994, Neighbors became head girls' basketball coach at Bentonville High School in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The team improved from a 1–24 record in his first season to winning at least 18 games each of the next three seasons and reached the state finals in 1997.
Neighbors then took the same job at Cabot High School in Cabot, Arkansas in 1998 and taught biology at the school also.
During his year at Cabot, he was playing pickup basketball.
He had bet a high school player he could dunk.
He won and played five pickup games that morning.
After going home, he was resting on his couch when he experienced a heart attack.
Doctors placed two stents in his chest to help with the blood flow, and he was back to coaching the following Friday.
However, he decided he had to change his life and he resigned the head coaching position to take an administrative job at the University of Arkansas.
The change resulted in a substantial pay cut.
From 1999 to 2001, Neighbors was director of operations for Arkansas Razorbacks women's basketball.
Neighbors explains his philosophy: "...be the head coach of whatever they ask you to do."
He quickly moved upward to additional responsibilities.
Coach Gary Blair asked him to help out with camps, then with viewing opponents' videos to write scouting reports.
After two years as director of basketball operations at Arkansas, Neighbors became an assistant coach at Tulsa under Kathy McConnell-Miller.
While an assistant at Tulsa, the school had their best record in school history (19–12) and their first ever post-season invitation.
When McConnell-Miller left to take over the Colorado program, Neighbors continued as her assistant at Colorado.
After one year at Colorado, Susie Gardner persuaded Neighbors to return to Arkansas, this time as a full assistant.
The return home did not last long, as Gardner and Arkansas parted ways at the end of the season.
Arkansas replaced Gardner with Tom Collen, who chose to bring in his own staff as assistants.
Washington earned its first top-25 ranking since 2003 in Neighbors's second season in 2014–15 and made the NCAA tournament as a #6 seed.
Neighbors was hired by Xavier head coach Kevin McGuff in time for the 2007-08 season.
The next year, the team improved again, finishing 21–12, and finishing 5th in the Pac-12 Conference, their best finish since 2007.
However, at the end of McGuff's second season, Ohio State decided to move on from Jim Foster, and persuaded McGuff to take over the head coaching position for the Buckeyes.
McGuff, who had signed a three-year contract extension just three weeks earlier, was persuaded to return to his home state.
He continued as McGuff's assistant through the 2010–11 season, during which time the Musketeers were 108–22, winning the A10 Conference Tournament three of the four years, making the NCAA tournament each year, and advancing to the Elite Eight in 2010, losing to national runner-up Stanford by just two points.
While at Xavier, Neighbors was selected as one of the best assistant coaches in the country.
He was chosen as one of five recipients for the BasketballScoop.com and ONS Performance Rising Star award.
McGuff was hired by the Washington Huskies for the 2011-2012 season, bringing Neighbors along with him.
In their first season under McGuff, the Huskies turned around their 11–17 record from the previous season, improving to 20–14 and making it to the quarterfinals of the WNIT.
On April 21, 2013, Washington hired Neighbors to be its women's basketball head coach.
In his first year, Washington finished 20-14 (10-8 Pac-12).
Among the team's wins was a nationally televised upset of then-No.
3 Stanford at Alaska Airlines Arena that snapped Stanford's 58-game road conference winning streak.
