We love a good glow up! Congrats to Niele Ivey who is returning to Notre Dame’s Women’s basketball as head coach after playing a part in each of the program's nine Final Fours. Woot! More inside...
We love a good success story, especially when a black woman is offered a position she so rightfully deserves.
Niele Ivey just became Notre Dame Women’s Basketball head coach and they better get ready because a new era is on the horizon. She's been breaking barriers while serving as an assistant coach for the Memphis Grizzlies, a huge accomplishment for anyone, and now it's her time to shine at the helm.
Welcome home, @IrishCoachIvey.
