You got a good one. Not only Marquette but the Big East is going to miss her. Good luck Megan! From another UConn alum.
I really like her energy, excited for what’s to come!
Looking forward to seeing what Coach Duffy does at VT! - Kelly
She is wonderful, thank you Coach and happy you are a Hokie
As a UConn fan, I've always liked her energy.
Very cool, Love this coach...
Wow! I think we have a winner here! Coach Duffy's experience and accomplishments will not only be great for VT WBB, it will be extremely valuable for every player she coaches. GO HOKIES!
Welcome home coach Duffy
This was really great. Like it should be on VT official accounts. She was awesome and well spoken, and you two seemed so confident and prepared. Bravo 👍
Megan great interview Go Hokies
Great interview. Welcome coach!
GUARD PLAY WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS! 🏀🏀🏀
Heh. Good one. You forgot the "/s"
Whit hit a home run with this hire!
What does she want the roster to look like? Smaller team? a couple bigs? Curious what the needs are after losing Strack?
We need a center for sure, have a few decent guards and wings but a couple more couldn't hurt. Unless Clara Silva reaffirms commitment, we will be a smaller team this year for sure than in recent years.
@@samuelkernstine At Marquette she focused on fundamentals: good guard play to lead off plays, lots of rebounding, running a system, etc. She's a fundamentals person because she's seen enough of that in the pros and at Notre Dame. She's also been watching Geno Auriemma's Huskies and how they do things.
Coach Duffy is impressive! 👏🏻My head is spinning for her after her whirlwind first week. May all the pieces fall into place. 🧡🦃
Until she leaves in about 3 or 4 years
As soon as she has any “success” she will leave, just like the rest. So I wouldn’t get too attached. Don’t say “ this is home” or. “ this is my dream “ job BS. VT a mid level stepping stone She’s young enough to get the hell out of here for more $$$$. Wouldn’t blame her. Just a fact.
Agreed. But, for the time being I'm a big fan. I just won't get attached to her like I did Kenny.
