It didn't take clairvoyance for Amy Eagan to see what was coming.
Before she wasthe latest Drury women's basketball coach to have the Panthers in the national title conversation, Eagan was the all-time wins leader at fellow NCAA Division II member Truman State in Kirksville, a four-hour trek from the Springfield school and a world away in facility budget.
Few schools in the second rung of college basketball have a lavish O'Reilly Events Center, or the willing donors, but Drury had that luxury.
Eagan was fresh off a national tournament appearance in 2019 when opting leave Truman State and be an assistant under then-Drury coach Molly Miller, a career move that, on the surface, appeared short of lateral.
