Muffet's done an outstanding job of not just winning a national championship, but also for giving women's sports the credibility at the University of Notre Dame in the same tradition that football has allowed all other sports to become competitive in the national spotlight. This book gives you her story and her philosophy on not just building a program, but maintaining it year after year. -- Digger Phelps, Former Notre Dame Men's Basketball Coach and Current ESPN Basketball Analyst Coach McGraw's unique ability to lead, motivate and adjust to various teams she has coached is reflected by the success she has achieved and a tradition of excellence she has built for Notre Dame's women basketball. In 1997, Coach McGraw took a group of good players and made us great by leading us to the school's first ever Final Four in Cincinnati as the Cinderella team. In this book, Paul Gullifor has captured the unique qualities that has made her one of the nation's elite coaches. -- Beth Morgan-Cunningham,, current head women's basketball coach, Virginia Commonwealth University Muffet McGraw has a great winning attitude and has a complete undertanding how to communicate her concepts to her players. She is absolutely a brilliant tactician and does everything with class. She represents the Fighting Irish and the Golden Dome in a very special way. There's no doubt that if you love basketball, and love women's basketball in particular, you will love to read the text by Muffet McGraw. She's awesome baby, with a capital 'A'!! -- Dick Vitale, Lead Color Commentator for ESPN's College Basketball

Reseña del editor

In the shadows of the nation's most storied football program, Muffet McGraw has quietly built the Notre Dame women's basketball program into a national power. Arguably, women's basketball has been the university's most consistently successful varsity sport. Over the past 15 years, Irish women's basketball teams have made 12 post-season appearances including nine trips to the NCAA tournament. The team's rise to national prominence was underscored with a national championship in 2001. In short, the Notre Dame women's basketball prgram has been steadily built into a perennial national championship contender, and its architect for those 15 years has been Head Coach Muffet McGraw. McGraw has more than 300 victories at Notre Dame and a winning percentage of .729 with numerous awards to attest to McGraw's coaching success. Her honors in 2001 alone: Women's Basketball Coaches Association National Coach of the Year, Naismith's Women's College Coach of the Year, Associated Press' Coach of the Year, Sports Illustrated for Women's Coach of the Year, and Big East Conference Coach of the Year. Personal accolades aside, Coach McGraw works hard to define effective methods for her players that will not only mean success on the court-but will also translate to personal fulfillment in life. Accordingly, in Courting Success McGraw outlines her ingredients for success-on and off the court-by sharing stories of hard lessons learned, the value of finely tuned work ethic and discipline, experiences that motivate and inspire, and "key plays" to put into daily living practice.
