Coaching career
[edit]Cashman started as an assistant coach for Villanova University. In 1926, he became the team's head coach. In his first season, the Wildcats had an 11–7 record.[1]
The following seasons were disrupted by a college fire. With their main gymnasium converted into to laboratory space, the Wildcats had to practice off-campus and had to find an alternate site for their home games.[1] In three years with the team, he had a record of 21–26 (.447).[2] This makes him their shortest-tenured coach in the program's history.[3]
