There’s no European trip this summer for Michigan State’s women’s basketball team, and that’s a good thing.
At least it is for coach Suzy Merchant. Of course, that doesn’t mean she’s slowing down.
After a season in which she missed seven games because of health issues, the Spartans coach still has plenty going on in the offseason, including standing up in the wedding of top assistant Amaka Agugua.
“It’s really the same kind of stuff,” Merchant said early this week from Big Ten headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois. “Potentially an easier summer since we don’t have a foreign trip coming but just got off the road in April and July recruiting is coming, and that’s about it.
