It’s been a difficult couple of weeks for the Virginia Tech women’s basketball program. After losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, head coach Kenny Brooks bolted for Kentucky. Brooks’ departure left many in Hokie Nation upset because of how he left—not that he took another job.
In some good news, Virginia Tech athletic director Whit Babcock found an excellent replacement in former Marquette coach Megan Duffy. The 39-year-old Duffy is a former point guard for Notre Dame and posted an outstanding record in seven seasons as a head coach at Miami (Ohio) and Marquette. Duffy arrived in Blacksburg on Thursday with much fanfare.
