Message: [QUOTE="Dillon77, post: 4536113, member: 6620"] [B]Megan Duffy, Dawn Staley, Niele Ivey and Denise Dillon All Have Something In Common[/B] According to an article in The Next: "Marquette's Megan Duffy joined Dawn Staley (of South Carolina), Denise Dillion (of Villanova) and Niele Ivey (of Notre Dame) as one of only four people to defeat UConn coach head coach Geno Auriemma as both a player (Notre Dame, 2002-06) and as a coach," according to a story in The Next. In fact, Marquette took it one step further: Duffy and Ivey are the only two to do it as players, assistant coaches and head coaches. [MEDIA=twitter]1624087693889089546[/MEDIA] That said/done, Geno likes Duffy: “I’ve had a chance to spend a lot of time around Megan and her husband at the BIG EAST meetings and Megan was a hell of a player as everybody knows at Notre Dame but one thing I’ve found about Megan that really pisses me off is she’s entirely too chipper for me,” Geno Auriemma said. “That kid is never not happy. She’s never not supportive of her team and she’s never anything but upbeat. “I love the way she coaches plain and simple. She coaches to her personality and that’s how she was as a player and that’s how she coaches her team. They play with that same toughness and physicality that she played with.” BTW, Geno has always spoken favorably about Niele in the articles I've read, calling her "good company" at the endless amount of AAU tourneys they attend.
