American college basketball coach Michael Earl Neighbors was born March 29, 1969. He is currently the head coach of the University of Arkansas women’s basketball team. After four years at the University of Washington, he moved to Arkansas in 2017.

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. 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.

On April 21, 2013, Washington hired Neighbors to be its women’s basketball head coach.

Neighbors served as director of operations from 1999 to 2001 for Arkansas Razorbacks women’s basketball. Neighbors describes his philosophy as “…be their head coach in whatever role they give you. He quickly rose to new responsibilities. He was asked by Coach Gary Blair to assist with camps and then to view videos of opponents to create scouting reports.
