coach Muffet McGraw on gender equity

Notre Dame (Basketball) Coach Muffet McGraw has been on the Final Four stage nine times in her career. …

But her news conference on Thursday was different. It was passionate, and it was personal.

Muffet McGraw has had enough. …

NY Times 

She will only hire female assistant coaches in future. Female coaches in women’s sport should be the norm. Male coaches, the exception.

Denver, OSU to Nationals

Denver 197.375
OSU 196.900
Florida 196.700
Boise State 176.075 

Judging wasn’t crazy high, merely ‘boxed‘.

At the start of the meet I had a feeling Denver was going to qualify.

The vibe is team on the rise.

They believe.

Florida opened the door counting a fall on Beam first rotation.

In the past when Florida has had a counting Beam fall they’ve found a way to make up the 0.5.

But it didn’t happen today.

Denver is planning for the top 4 at Nationals. No question.

Having followed OSU closely since Stephanie McGregor from my home Gym first got recruited, I’m proud and happy for this excellent program.

Ladies. Good luck at Nationals. You’ve made your fans happy.
