Michaela Mabrey (a.k.a. Mabrey1, Mike, the Long-Range Bomber, %$&*#) received her degree from Notre Dame in May and just recently joined Katie Meier's staff at the University of Miami as a graduate assistant.
Mike was Meier's PG on for USA basketball's U18 team in 2012 (Meier was the head coach.) and played well for her. At ND, besides her long-range bombing, Mike served as a back-up point guard for the Irish (due to injuries, lack of depth at that position) and was a solid -- and vocal -- leader for the team in 2015-2016, which was recognized by players and coaches, alike.
Many people thought Mabrey would either go into communications and/or coaching and this seems like a solid fit, playing for a coach she knows (and who knows her).
Anyways, this got me thinking: What other current WCBB players or recent grads do you think would make good coaches once their playing days are over?
We know (and have been impressed by) UConn's Jen Rizzotti and Shea Ralph and ND's Niele Ivey and Megan Duffy (at Michigan). Whom do you think could roam the sideline and recruit and develop outstanding people and players? Would be fun to hear from the Boneyard contributors far and wide, from UConn and ND, to East Texas (Baylor, UT) and Knoxville, South Carolina and Louisville.
