Eight days after being announced as the new Marquette women’s basketball head coach, Megan Duffy has announced her three assistant coaches. Duffy will retain the services of Vernette Skeete and Scott Merritt while bringing in Justine Raterman, one of her three assistants from Miami (OH).
Skeete and Merritt were both hired by Carolyn Kieger when she took over as head coach in the spring of 2014. They’ve been with the program ever since, and will provide a moment of stability for the team as they make the transition from Kieger to Duffy. This is particularly important given the recruiting situation for the Golden Eagles, but we’ll get to that in a minute.
