NOTRE DAME, Ind.—Seated at a podium two years ago at the NCAA Women’s Final Four in Tampa, Fla., then-Notre Dame women’s basketball coach Muffet McGraw was posed a question about hiring practices in the sport and her role as a voice for women.
McGraw, who a couple of days later would coach in her seventh national championship game, leaned back, took a deep breath and delivered a thoughtful, powerful, passionate, emotional, and widely shared response that spoke directly—very directly—to the lack of women in leadership roles, not only in sports but also in business.
