High School

Carey was active in three sports while attending Liberty High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia.[4]

College career

Carey played basketball each of his four years at Salem. He was named the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference(WVIAC) freshman of the year in 1977. He went on to be the conference scoring leader in 1978, and earned MVP honors for Salem in 1979. In that year, he was also named to the WVIAC all-conference team. In his four years at Salem, he scored over 2,000 points.[5] Carey was named to the Salem Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993.[2]

Coaching career

Flemington and Clarksburg Liberty

After graduating from Salem in 1980 with a degree in physical education,[5] Carey coached girls basketball at the high school level for seven years, in Flemington, West Virginia and at Liberty High School in Clarksburg, West Virginia. In his final year as high school coach, he earned coach of the year honors from Harrison County and coached the team to the regional finals.[6]

Salem

Carey returned to his alma mater and became the assistant coach for the Salem men's basketball program in 1987. After one year as an assistant he became the head coach in 1988. The program did not have a history of success, posting an 819 record in the year before he took over,[5] but Carey coached the team to a winning record in his first year as head coach. In thirteen seasons, his teams had only one losing record. In nine of the thirteen years, the team won more than 20 games. Twice, the teams made it to the Division II Elite eight and in 1997, the team made it to the Division II Final Four.[6]

Carey celebrated his milestone 250th victory on January 29, 2000, in an 8676 victory over Shepherd College. At the time, he had coached teams to the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship five times.[7] By the time he completed his coaching career at Salem, teams he coached made seven post-season appearances, with five in the NCAA division II tournaments, and two in the NAIA tournaments.[8]

West Virginia

Carey took over a team that had only five wins in its previous season.[9] In his first season, the team improved to 1414, and has had only one losing season since (1516 in 200506). On January 29, 2008, West Virgina would upset Rutgers University, then ranked #4 in the country, representing the highest ranked team they had beaten in school history.[9]

In 200708, the team earned its first top 20 ranking in school history, reaching as high as 11th place in both major polls. They ended the year at 258, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.[5]

In 200910, West Virgina won a school-record 29 games. The team was ranked as high as #7 in the AP Poll during the year, and reached semi-finals of the Big East Women's Basketball Tournament, only to fall to Connecticut. Despite the success of the year, Carey still has not achieved one of his goalsto beat Connecticut. He said, "This is my 10th year and we've beat every team in the conference except Connecticut".[10] The team was undefeated at home for only the second time in program history. The Big East voted him co-coach of the year, along with Geno Auriemma.[5]

Carey's 200th win at West Virginia occurred on February 19,2011, in a game against Pittsburgh. West Virginia had failed to win in their previous three attempts to reach the 200 win milestone, but the team prevailed against Pittsburgh 9079. [11]

After a 2410 season in 2011, Carey's Mountaineers lost five seniors to graduation. The team has four incoming freshman, a class ranked #21, by ESPNU HoopGurlz.[12]
