Megan Duffy tabs Caitlyn Isler as director of operations for women’s basketball

BLACKSBURG — Virginia Tech women's basketball head coach Megan Duffy tabbed Caitlyn Isler as the program's director of basketball operations Wednesday. Isler spent the 2023-24 season with Duffy at Marquette as assistant athletic director (WBB).
 
She will be involved in the day-to-day operations of the program, including management of the program's budget and coordination of team travel. Isler also assists with summer camps and is the external relations liaison with groups including alumni, marketing and communications.

Marquette made history during the 2023-24 season with their best start ever at 12-0. The Golden Eagles were one of 10 teams in the country to go undefeated in nonconference play, including winning the Fort Meyers Tip-Off over Thanksgiving weekend. MU earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament with 23 wins and finished tied for third at 11-7 in the BIG EAST with St. John's and Villanova.
 
Isler arrived at Marquette after most recently serving for two seasons (2021-23) as director of women's basketball operations at George Washington. In her role with the program, her duties included organizing team travel, working as a liaison with administration and coordinating the team's alumni outreach.
 
Prior to GW, Isler spent three years in a similar role with the Stony Brook women's basketball team (2018-21).  Her responsibilities included managing travel logistics and coordinating summer camp programming and the team's community service efforts.
 
A two-time graduate of The Ohio State University, Isler earned her bachelor's degree in sports industry in 2016 and her Master's in sports management in 2018.  While at OSU, she worked with the women's basketball program as a graduate assistant, student manager and camp counselor.
