RIGHT after the news broke that Muffet McGraw is stepping down as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Women’s Basketball Head Coach, there is even more news coming from WBB. Niele Ivey, assistant coach for the Memphis Grizzlies, was just announced as the replacement to Muffet McGraw.
Niele Ivey had an awesome career move available when she got hired by the Memphis Grizzlies this past NBA offseason. She had been a long-time assistant coach to Muffet McGraw after helping to win the 2001 National Championship for Notre Dame.
This is an OUTSTANDING move. Niele connected so well with the players, and knows Muffet’s style to appreciate it.
