Interesting to hear, as RI Steve noted, that MM started this process and Niele continued it. Niele always was good influence on Marina and think she and Michaela will work well with Dara.
Well, we've now gotten pieces by Shore guys Kevin Williams and Gregg Lerner. Just need hoops guru Tiny Green chiming in and we'll have a hat trick!
Go Dara. Go Irish!
takes over Beth's role with the wings. Last year Beth coached Destinee, Sam, and Abby.
There has not been an announcement of coaching responsibilities, so we shall see.
...but we'll have to see what the official responsibilities are.
Yes, Coquese will proabably coach the PG's and also take on the "combo" guards who will handle the ball from time to time. And that would seem to be where Dara will fit in if (note "if") she has PG responsibilities (particularly if the waiver comes through and she's available in 2020-21).
But I can't see Niele not having some input with her point guards, which is why I put that in the initial post. And I also think Michaela will have both informal and formal (game plans) input and interaction with Dara.
As for who Mike coaches, I think Beth's charges of Destinee, Sam and Abby will slide to Mike, along with incoming frosh Alli Campbell. Who knows...if Dara has to sit a year, she might take over the Destinee role of designated scorer from off-guard and work here, too, in 2021-22. Sonia Citron would probably join this group, while Olivia Miles would, of course, be with the PG's.
