Coaching career
After working as a student manager at his alma mater once his playing career wrapped up, McAuley joined Mike Young's staff at Wofford for his first assistant coaching position. From there, he'd move on to an assistant coaching spot at Gardner-Webb for a three-year stretch before landing at Furman as assistant coach from 2013 to 2017.[4] McAuley would rejoin Wofford's staff in 2017, and was part of the staff that won both the Southern Conference regular season and tournament championship earning a seven-seed in the 2019 NCAA tournament where the Terriers advanced to the round of 32.
On April 14, 2019, McAuley was promoted to head coach of the Terriers following the departure of Young who accepted the head coaching position at Virginia Tech.[2][5] On December 30, 2022, McAuley resigned his coaching position following a month-long leave of absence.[6]
On May 24, 2023, Lassiter High School named McAuley their head basketball coach. Lassiter High School is located in Marietta, Georgia, McAuley's hometown (McAuley graduated from Pope High School).[7]
