Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 2166991, member: 6620"] Probably the two former Irish (and MM-coached) players who have done well at the D1 level: - The aforementioned [B]Beth (Morgan) Cunningham[/B] is VCU's all-time leader in women's basketball coaching wins, having successfully piloted VCU to a 167-115 (.592) record and postseason appearances in each of her final five seasons, including the program's first-ever NCAA Championship berth. - [B]Coquese Washington [/B]has been at Penn State for just around a decade as HC. While coaching PSU, Washington has guided the program to four NCAA Tournament berths and one appearance in the WNIT. Her best years were with the Maggie Lucas-led teams. She's got an interesting background, having received an undergrad (history) and grad degree (law) from ND. Utilizing that latter degree, she helped create the WNBA Players Association (WNBPA), serving as the founding president of the WNBPA from 1999 until 2001. She also was on the Houston Comets for a few years. I agree with that 5-7 year time frame and that's why I suggested we keep an eye on [B]Megan Duffy, [/B]who just started[B] [/B]at Miami U. of Ohio. If the time frame goes longer than that, see what head coaching job [B]Michaela Mabrey[/B] earns....she'll be a fast riser. In the meantime, let's sit back and enjoy what Geno (and his staff) and Muffet (ditto) continue to do.....:cool: [/QUOTE]
