Debbie Carrier came to JCCC in 1996 with the goal to build a program at JCCC that would be in the national spotlight as an annual contender for the NJCAA D-II title, and a consistent top 15 nationally ranked program.  After 12 years and her goal accomplished, Carrier, decided it was time to step away from the game.  In her 12 years, Carrier set a standard that may never be matched.  Carrier was officially named the seventh head coach in JCCC women’s basketball history on June 14, 1996, and in the 12 seasons that have followed she has painted her name across the record books grabbing the title of Johnson County’s winningest head coach while building a nationally prominent team.  In the 2002-03 season, Carrier became the program’s all-time wins leader, surpassing Barbara Gill on the all-time chart with 119.  She upped that over the next five seasons to  a mark of 239-165.  Her 239 career wins ranked ninth all-time in Kansas Jayhawk Conference history.  Carrier guided the Lady Cavaliers to eight 20-win seasons in her 12 years, including a school record 28 victories in her final campaign as Johnson County head coach.  In her inaugural season at JCCC, Carrier led her team to 21 wins, which ranks as the second highest win total by a rookie coach in team history.  Four years after taking over as the JCCC leader, she led her team to the NJCAA Division II National Championship.    Subsequently, her teams have followed by winning eight more Region VI titles, and have advanced to the to the NJCAA Women’s D-II National Tournament in five of those eight seasons. Carrier won nine region titles, five district titles, a national championships, posted six top 10 national finishes and four top five finishes.  Honors also came her way in her 12 years.  She was the NJCAA D-II National Coach of the Year in 2000, the District Coach of the year five times and Region VI Coach of the Year nine times.  Postseason honors accompanied several of her players as well.  In all, Carrier has coached 11 NJCAA All-America players, two WBCA All-Americans, eight NJCAA All-Tournament selections, a National Tournament MVP, 35 NJCAA All-Region VI players and 17 East Jayhawk Conference performers.  In addition, Carrier’s hard work and diligent recruiting have been rewarded by producing 32 players who eventually went on to sign upper-division scholarships. Carrier described herself as a fair coach, but she demanded discipline on and off the floor.  Her players took that to heart.  They demonstrated that they were not just students of the game, but also students in the classroom. Twelve of her former players were honored as NJCAA Academic All-Americans, including three from the 2002-03 season, and two in 2006-07.
