Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2165082, member: 6620"] [B]Megan Duffy Adds Michaela Mabey to Miami Redhawks Coaching Staff[/B] Former Irish point guard and first-time Head Coach Megan Duffy just announced her coaching staff at Miami University of Ohio and it contains another former Irish guard, one Michaela Mabrey. Whoa, that didn't take long: after graduating in June 2016 and spending one year on Katie Meier's staff at the U of Miami, Michaela is now moving north to an assistant coach role in Oxford, Ohio. Congrats to Mike and to Megan...you're getting a good one. Note Megan's emphasis on leadership: “Coach ‘Mike’ was one of the greatest leaders to come out of Notre Dame,” said Duffy. “Her knowledge of the game and presence to lead teams will translate immediately to our guard group. Having the opportunity to watch her take Notre Dame to multiple Final Fours drew me to bringing her to Miami. Mabrey knows what it takes to be great and will help our student-athletes grow and lead in all aspects of their experience at Miami.” Here's the whole release: [URL='http://www.miamiredhawks.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/042117aaa.html']Womens Basketball Announces Trio of Assistant Coaches[/URL] On a recruiting aside, I can safely assume that Michaela will keep an open link between southwest Ohio and the Jersey shore conference that she knows oh so well. If some of those players are not guaranteed/borderline P5 players, she'll have an eye out for them. Particularly guards who have no compunction about shooting from just inside the half-court line! ;) Excuse me for having a proud Irish moment....big fan of both these fellow ND alums! :D [/QUOTE]
