Arike Ogunbowale will forever be known by Notre Dame fans as the hero that hit buzzer beaters to knock out Connecticut and Mississippi State on Final Four weekend to win the women’s basketball national championship in 2018.
The current point guard on the WNBA’s Dallas Wings joined ESPN’s Golic and Wingo Show on Tuesday to discuss a few of her recent tweets about the roles of college coaches during this monumental times.
Play for a coach that is truly invested in you as a person and not just you as an athlete. It’s tough to differentiate.. but I think their actions or lack there of right now is a strong telling.

In the interview Ogunbowale discusses the seemingly generic tweets and comments so many coaches have recently sent out and why she has an issue with them. She then gives former Notre Dame head coach Muffet McGraw incredible praise for the way she handled social matters with her players at Notre Dame.
What she had to say speaks pretty much directly to what we appreciated about Niele Ivey’s comments from this weekend.
