Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 3620646, member: 6620"] Sorry for not getting involved in this earlier, but my attention has been a bit further up I-95 for the past few days (weeks?). In any case, congrats to Beth Morgan-Cunningham for landing this position. It's a fine job for Beth and a good hire for Kara: - Since Beth was a HC at VCU for quite some time, she's known to be quite good at addressing all the "back-office" aspects of being a head coach, which Muffet often gave her full credit for taking off her plate (or doing better). This will be invaluable for a new head coach. - As Cat noted, Beth's been a member of a coaching staff that has had a very good run in the ACC (Until last year, they ripped it...) Beth and Neile have both scouted and written up more ACC game plans than they can remember. - Needless to say, she knows ND's offense, particularly the wing position, which she coached for years (K-Mac, Maddie Cable, first two Mabreys, Sam Brunelle). Expect a Blue Devil clamp on Sam this season. - Beth does not get rattled. Keeps her eye on the prize, just like the smooth shooter she was. Makes subtle, undramatic suggestions during games that help. Kara has said when she was assigned to an ND game on ESPN and went to campus a few days early, she really liked spending time with MM's staff and talking about everything involved in a program. You've got to think she spent lots of time with both Niele and Beth. A lot of time and effort has been spent at the Bench regarding the "Coquese Washington for Beth Morgan Cunningham" decision and all agree it's up to the new HC to choose her staff. However, Beth has a lot of supporters on the Bench and in the ND community, and everyone will be pleased for her getting an exceptional position. (Maybe not so much that it's at Duke, buy hey....) If things go well for Duke and, in turn, Beth, it could help her get back in the HC game in a few years. In the meantime, knock on wood, the Durham-South Bend trips just got even more interesting.
