The response to Megan Duffy’s appointment as the new head coach of the Virginia Tech women’s basketball team has been overwhelmingly positive. Many agree that this is a fantastic hire for Virginia Tech, signaling a new era for the program.
The recent challenges faced by the Virginia Tech basketball program, such as players entering the NCAA transfer portal and the departure of head coach Kenny Brooks, have been significant. The loss of star players like Sean Pedulla, Lynn Kidd, Elizabeth Kitley, and Georgia Amoore added to the adversity. However, with the hiring of Megan Duffy from Marquette, there is renewed optimism.
Duffy, known for her success both as a player and a coach, has already started working on retaining key players and recruiting new talent to strengthen the team. Despite some players following Brooks to Kentucky, there is a sense of excitement and anticipation for the future of Virginia Tech women’s basketball under Duffy’s leadership.
