Post Reply Return to McGraw's Bench

This move prepares Ivey for a head coach job in women’s basketball. If I understand correctly, she’s being considered to be on the coaching staff of an NBA men’s basketball league. This is much different then being a head coach for a collegiate women’s basketball team. The play and style is different and recruiting is a major component to college basketball. Now, unless Ivey is trying to prepare herself for coaching in the NBA, then yes, this is a great move.

But, if her aspirations is to be a women’s college head coach, then in my opinion, this is a waste. I would have preferred her take a head coaching job in college and comeback to ND as McGraw’s successor. I think Ivey has the potential to be a great college coach and if she does leave, it’s a huge blow to recruiting- she’s one of the best out there as she relates well to the younger generation. Selfishly, I hope she doesn’t get the job - lol
