Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 3254146, member: 15"] Not so fast. She didn't really mean what she said last spring. [SIZE=5][B][I]Men considered[/I][/B][/SIZE] [I]Asked if she considered any men for her latest coaching hire, McGraw indicated that she did. She also said a declaration to the contrary on the subject that was attributed to her last March was “a little bit out of context.” “We talked to a few men, did some interviews on the phone, looked at what the resumes were like coming in, and looked around the country without even looking at resumes, just to see who’s out there that really would be good for us,” McGraw said. “It came down to an easy decision because it was Michaela, but we definitely were looking at guys, too.” McGraw drew mostly wide praise and a social media buzz at the Final Four last April when she weighed in passionately on the discrepancies in male/female employment practices around the nation, both in and out of sports. A week earlier, though, she also drew some criticism amid the praise when she indicated in a [URL='http://thinkprogress.org/']ThinkProgress.org[/URL] story that she would never hire another man as an assistant coach given hiring habits elsewhere around the country. “That statement I think came a little bit out of context,” McGraw said Monday. “I was talking about how our female staff was working together and how well we worked together and how much I enjoyed it, and it was sort of an off-hand remark that got taken a little bit too far. I’ve had so many great guys on my staff, and we still have some guys around us in our program, so we were completely open (in who was considered).” [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ndinsider.com/basketball/womens/michaela-mabrey-named-notre-dame-women-s-basketball-assistant/article_83e16557-b14f-5a5a-9278-47c8f08736ca.html[/URL][/I] [/QUOTE]
