On the contrary, I think you point out to Clark the excellent coaching she will receive under MM and her staff no matter who she hires for Niele's replacement. The coaches are so good that the NBA is now calling....it's really a compliment to the quality of coaching at ND.

these opportunities are now available to women - why wouldn't you want to play for such a coach?

While Muffett isn't alone in the struggle, it's pretty easy to connect her statements around Final Four time and one of her coaches actually hired by the NBA (and that's not to take anything away from Niele's accomplishments) but this is how I would sell it at ND

for each player. I kid (kinda)

As MPG pointed out in a prior post, Muffet -- herself a former point guard -- still worked with the point guards, although Niele was the lead assistant.
And I've always thought there was a similarity of intent and spirit between MM and Clark which translated to me that CC would get a lot of attention from Coach McGraw. Given what happened now, I expect that to be the case even more....

good to hear
