Muffet McGraw

The Great Coaches: Leadership & Life

Muffet is an American Basketball coach who led the women’s team at Notre Dame for 33 seasons.

In all she led the team to 9 final fours, 7 championship games and 2 NCAA champion ships in 2001 and 2018.

She was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011

and the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Legends of Coaching award in 2017.

Some of the highlights include:

• Her thoughts on empowering young women and doing this through a mixture of listening and encouraging them to use their voice to talk about things that are important to them.
• How believing in people after they fail at something is one of the most important things a leader can do.
• Her view that women are often not taught that it is not OK to be competitive and ambitious, and the work she does to help women understand that it is OK to be like this on the court.
