Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2110923, member: 6620"] On most fingers of my hand, I agree with you, then hit the websites to look around. - Regarding a school like Northwestern, yup!, that would be a good landing place for a coach like her,but Joe McKeown is still doing pretty well and there's a lot of loyalty to what he has accomplished. Plus they're working on new facilities up there and figure he deserves to be the beneficiary of them. Yes, he's getting up there in years, but looks pretty chipper and the Wildcats are doing well enough. - And there are only so many schools like that in which they look like logical steps for a WashU coach. While I could see a leap to Northwestern (maybe), I don't think she'd get the nod at a Duke or ND simply because there are too many DI candidates and members of the coaching trees that would be interest. So what does that leave her as an option? If Evanston isn't open, why not Champaign? Heck, it's a P5 program and should be better. Last I checked, Breanna Beal and Peoples are from there and maybe they would be interested in resurrecting a program with a proven coach. - Interestingly, she' spent time professionally in Illinois and went to Wisconsin. "Fahey came to WashU from Johnsburg High School in McHenry, Ill., where she guided the Skyhawks to two regional championships, a sectional final, two 20-win seasons and was named the coach-of-the-year in 1986 by the Northwest Herald. As a player, Fahey was a four-year letterwinner at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She started two years at point guard for the Badgers, and served as a captain her senior season. Fahey graduated with honors from Wisconsin in 1981." Her current WashU rosters has kids primarily from the midwest. Yes, they might be a bit different from what she needs at Illinois but the contacts at the schools are in place and you just shift your eyes from player A to player B. [/QUOTE]
