I think the WNIT dis is a very worrisome sign if you are a Notre Dame fan. Most coaches, especially ones whose teams are struggling, would be ecstatic at the opportunity to play 1-6 extra games under tournament conditions! As for her excuse, she was eager to play in the ncaa’s! While I understand the desire to watch her son play, I can’t help but wonder what her team, her administration, future recruits, and Notre Dame fans think about the state of this program? I think Notre Dame is in real danger of following Tennessee down a rabbit hole to extended mediocrity.
