I think she goes. If nothing else, she has to think how it looks to recruits. Take some pride, like the men's coaches. Don't give players the impression you think only of your own interests. Be a trusted counselor.

She got burned by her behavior, or perceived behavior, at a ceremony honoring a player last year. She won't let it happen again.

Nothing but pluses for attending. An image of being supportive of her players even if she doesn't agree.

Nothing but negatives for not attending. Petulant, vindictive, unsupportive.

To an outsider, seems an easy choice. But we don't know what went on behind the scenes.

Yeah, after reading your post (and Jewell's USA Today article) I hope she takes the high road and attends- "is there for her".

We'll see.

Muffet has been outspoken that Jewel did not make a correct decision to enter the draft. Will she be at the Draft Tonight?

Muffett can either go and support her player or have a fit and stay away. How will it look to her current players or future recruits if she doesn't show up?
 
Muffet will not attend the Draft per ND SID Chris Masters

Had several inquiries on whether @MuffetMcGraw will attend tonight's @WNBA Draft. Coach had several prior commitments for today, commitments scheduled long ago and made on the expectation that @ndwbb would not have anyone invited to this year's WNBA Draft. The decision by @jloyd32 to enter the draft, and the subsequent announcement she would be invited to attend the draft itself, came too late for Coach to reschedule any of those commitments.

if little Ms. Muffet wanted to be there, she would be there. I strongly doubt there is anything so important she couldn't reschedule to be there for her kid.

Hmmm. In the worlds of politics and international relations, unspecified "prior commitments" has a certain meaning, i.e., "I'm snubbing you, but I won't say so."

It really was short notice. Can't judge the prior commitments. Hopefully not like the prom date turn-down a friend of mine once endured: "I have to go shopping with my mother."

Next question: Do all possible team representatives -- Niele Ivey has been floated here -- also have prior commitments?
 
Doug Feinberg tweeted all ND Coaches had prior commitments, so none will be in attendance.

I can see that Muffet might not be available, but hard to believe that all ND Coaches had commitments that could not be broken so that one could attend.

Not only was Muffet not there, Loyd in her interview with Holly thanked her family, friends and teammates, with no mention of her coach.

Everybody can't be BFFs. Helps if you wanna be NC tho.

I'm pretty sure that Muffet will be there as long as Loyd does not object. The reason is that Loyd will be probably the number 1 pick. How many of those did ND have in the past? None that I can remember...this can be used in future recruiting by ND...
Expand ...


I'll be shocked if Loyd is the number one pick!

Well Geno isn't there due to other commitments, and he knew years in advance...

Article a few weeks ago said Geno was plaanning trip to Napa before his US team training camp in Las Vegas in May. Methinks he deserves a little time off.

No problemo - I'm sure he handled it with his proteges well in advance

doesn't look like anything... as long as they fulfill their commitment

Geno had the greatest 3 point shooter in the history of WCBB getting drafted, whom he has a wonderful relationship with and he wasnt there (prior commitments my foot)... but we expect Muffett to be there smh

Curious why he wouldn't be there when he was there last year- I didn't follow the years before.

What up wit dat?

And let's all be honest- they wouldn't have won it without KML.

I am assuming Muffet didn't clap, as well, wherever she was. All of the coaches missing does sound something like a freeze out.
 
Geno will be in Las Vegas with national team in early May. A while back, it was mentioned that he was headed to Napa for some time off.
 
Even though Geno couldn't be there, he sent flowers to Kaleena, Kiah and their mothers. Also, the whole team was there with Marisa. Nobody cheered louder than their row when Kaleena, then Kiah were drafted.

Why is keeping a commitment so hard to believe? Just because Loyd didn't keep hers.

JB it seems like the way this thread is going we are going to have to have all the coaches and assistants fax in official excuses for not being at the draft. "We know Marisa was there but what about Shea and where was Chris Dailey"...silly season IMO.
 
.-.
Neither were there..Would have been nice to see both.

That being said, if i say something about Muffet which was a last minute decision by Lloyd, then i should probably give equal time to Geno since he knew the day they announced the draft date that KML would be there,

The coaches put in a ton of time during the season and tournament. Once it is over, I don't blame either one for taking time to do other things, official or personal.
 
Just curious: I know Geno sent flowers to Kaleena and Kia and their moms. Does anyone know if Muffet did something similar? (I missed the draft broadcast).

To whom, Loyd, why would she? Hopefully we understand that she may be upset with Jewel... why do we continue to expect her to play nice. Geno still should have been there any other commitment that he may had is because of these ladies... he owe them more than flowers. #dontgetwhatsthebigdeal
 
Please don't take this the wrong way, but I didn't say she should or shouldn't have. I was just curious -- ND is normally pretty good at PR, and it seems like the kind of thing that she or the administration might have wanted to do.

I don't have any expectation of Muffet, nasty or nice. Just because I'm somewhat interested in the facts, doesn't mean I have an agenda.

She kept more of a commitment than what she owed ND. She took them to how many NCAA tournaments? They can give her scholarship to someone else.

She was not a slave to ND.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if she goes. If I'm Jewell, I'm not sure I want her there.

Should she have been surprised?

From a Mechelle Voepel article on ESPN (scroll down):

Loyd said repeatedly Thursday night that she and her family had prepared extensively for taking this path to professionalism, just as she has prepared for every other step she has taken in her life.

However, Loyd didn't say exactly when she knew for sure that she was leaving. It seems pretty clear, though, that she knew or at least seriously was considering it even before the NCAA tournament. We can piece together what seems to have happened: Loyd thought it best not to reveal to McGraw what she was really thinking.

It wasn't a last minute decision to enter the draft. Jewel either lied or at least misled Muffet when she said she'd be returning. I'd be pissed, too.
