Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 3110275, member: 1131"] Muffit has had male assistant coaches in the past (e.g., Kevin McGuff) and I recall her as being quoted (some years ago) as saying that her players enjoyed the energy that a male coach brings (or something similar to that). It is possible that she has changed her mind. I even recall a story that in the late 1980's, when Muffit had just been hired at Notre Dame and Geno was complaining (they were friends then) about what a sorry place UConn was in those pre-Gampel days, Muffit actually offered HIM an assistant coach job on her staff. He declined, saying that being a head coach was a big deal for him. Think how history might have been changed ... [/QUOTE]
