Notre Dame Coach Muffet McGraw has had an all-female coaching staff for the past seven years. By Ava Wallace Ava Wallace Reporter covering local colleges and universities Email Bio Follow April 4 at 6:29 PM TAMPA — A second national title allows a coach to speak a little more freely, and Notre Dame’s Muffet McGraw knows she might never have more eyes and ears trained on her than she does now.
— NCAA WBB April 4, 2019 According to ThinkProgress, 90 percent of women’s collegiate teams were coached by women in 1972, when Title IX was enacted. By 2018, that number had dropped to 41.5 percent. In college basketball, 59.3 percent of women’s teams are coached by women. "When these girls are coming out, who are they looking up to to tell them that’s not the way it has to be? Where better to do that than in sports? All these millions of girls that play sports across the country, we’re teaching them great things about life skills, but wouldn’t it be great if we could teach them to watch how women lead? This is a path for you to take to get to the point where in this country we have 50 percent of women in power.
McGraw also said she’d like to see more “women supporting women” in terms of mentorships and networking, and that men who have hiring power must do their part and hire women as well.
