Margaitis begins his fifth season as a member of the Keene State women's basketball coaching staff, third as the Associate Head Coach of the Owls.

Originally from Litchfield, Connecticut, Margaitis came to KSC after serving as the head girls' basketball coach at Fall Mountain Regional High School (FMRHS) in 2007. "I saw his team playing during our Christmas tournament and was impressed with the job Ryan did," said Boucher. "I thought he was a good communicator and got the most out of the team's talent."

Margaitis proved to be a valuable addition to the staff last season, getting involved in every facet of the program and making a smooth adjustment into the college coaching ranks.

A 1,000-point career scorer at Wamago High in Litchfield, Margaitis played a season at Springfield College. He began his coaching career in Connecticut, before spending a year with Coach Phil Hebert at Keene High then moving on to FMRHS.
