Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4600344, member: 6620"] So, after a look at Raoul's coaching tracker, the openings at schools in conferences we regularly follow are still open (listed in the order they opened up). [LIST] [*]Pittsburgh (3/5: Lance White out) [*]Xavier (3/6. Melanie Moore leaves) [*]Georgetown (3/13: James Howard out) [*]Michigan State (3/13. Suzy Merchant leaves) [*]West Virginia (3/18. Dawn Plitzuweit leaves for Minnesota position, taking all three assistants with her). [/LIST] With the transfer portal now open and official visits able to start up after the NCAA Final Four, it might seem time for schools to get a move on. The only coach of a school still active that I've seen mentioned for these jobs is Robyn Fralick of Bowling Green, who I've seen listed as a "coach-of-interest" for the Mich. State position. But more than a few others -- Tricia Cullop of Toledo, Tony Verdi of Massachusetts and Megan Duffy of Marquette, to name a few -- have completed their seasons. Personally, I see Fralick as an up-and-comer who won the two D-II titles at Ashland before heading to Bowling Green. Her salary shouldn't be an issue for any of these schools and I could see her at MSU and/or Pitt. Duffy, my fellow ND alum, is bit of a wild card for me. She's from Dayton, Ohio and has worked at Miami (of Ohio) and Michigan, while playing at Notre Dame (Indiana) and coaching at Marquette (Wisconsin), so she knows the region. However, she already makes more at Marquette than the Pitt job was paying and the Pitt program needs some serious refurbishing. Michigan State probably can meet resource demands but does she want to go head-to-head with her true coaching mentor, Kim Barnes Arrico? Are these the fits she's looking for? And, as a few have pointed out here and on The Bench, she still has work at Marquette. However, I think can do a very good job in the B1G if she chooses to go in that direction. Any ideas from the 'yard? [/QUOTE]
