This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Megan Duffy brought one young assistant with her from by MPG

Miami to Marquette. She retained two veteran Marquette assistants. The third Marquette assistant (an experienced recruiting coordinator) went with Carolyn Kieger to Penn State. As we know Megan Duffy went on to be voted Big East Coach of the Year for the 2109-20 season. I was surprised to learn that both of the assistants she retained left after the season to become assistants at Illinois. I haven't read why that would happen, although my first guess is that Illinois would offer higher salaries to assistants.

Penn State, by the way, had a terrible season as they finished Big Ten play with a 1 and 17 record. They also have four of their players in the transfer portal. Coquese did not leave that program in good shape.

Illinois was 2 and 16 in conference play with a four point win at PSU. You can see why they were looking to steal a couple of experienced coaches from the successful Marquette program.
