Muffet McGraw - Hall of Fame Women's Basketball Coach

The latest interview is with Muffet McGraw, a Hall of Famer and one of the winningest coaches in college basketball history.  Mrs. McGraw coached women's basketball for 38 seasons, with 33 of them at the University of Notre Dame.  She is a two-time national champion head coach that amassed 936 career victories with a win percentage of 76 percent.  Her teams made nine trips to the Final Four and she collected consensus National Coach of the Year honors three times throughout her legendary career.

McGraw’s Irish squads accumulated 14 regular-season conference titles, including eight straight from 2012-19, 11 conference tournament championships (including six in her final eight years at Notre Dame) and made seven trips to the NCAA Division I Women’s National Championship game. Additionally, McGraw earned seven conference Coach of the Year honors across five leagues. McGraw coached 22 All-Americans and 20 future WNBA players, including No. 1 overall picks Jewell Loyd and Jackie Young.

McGraw was enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2017, following her induction in both the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame (2011) and the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame (2014). She is also a member of St. Joseph’s University Women’s Basketball and the Philadelphia Big Five Halls of Fame.
