She went on to earn a master’s degree at Baylor.[1]Coaching career[edit]Garmon then returned to Temple Junior College in 1963, where she persuaded the athletic director and the school president to let her start a women’s basketball program. At this time, there were not a lot of options for opponents so she scheduled anyone who would be willing to play including high schools and four-year colleges. She had a challenging start to her college coaching career as her team lost their first seven games, but they went on to win the next nine. She had no scholarships in her first year but the school president gave her four scholarships for the subsequent year. She remained at Temple Junior College until 1979, winning 383 games against 157 losses. Her 1975 team won the first National Junior College Athletic Association national championship, beating Northern Iowa Area Community College 59\u201358.[1][2] Although a junior-college, she sometimes scheduled four-year schools such as UCLA. They competed in one national invitational tournament and defeated UCLA, which led her to say with a smile, \u201c(That) was a big mistake because then they banned all junior colleges from it after that,\u201d.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1979, Garmon took over the head coaching duties at Delta State.
