SB: Duke names head coach, to start in 2018
Duke names first softball head coach, Marissa Young.
Former Big Ten Player of the Year Marissa Young will be the first head softball coach at Duke University, announced by Vice President and Director of Athletics Dr. Kevin White on Wednesday. Young spent the past two years as an assistant coach at the University of North Carolina.
The Blue Devils are scheduled to open varsity play during the 2017-18 academic year. Eleven current ACC schools sponsor softball including Boston College, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, North Carolina, N.C. State, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia and Virginia Tech.
In Marissa Young, Duke was able to secure the talents of one of the brightest young stars in the softball coaching profession, Dr. White said. Her pedigree as both a coach and a player is simply spectacular. Having played for, and excelled in, one of the premier programs in America at Michigan, Marissa understands winning at the highest level of college softball. Even more impressive is her advocacy, energy and passion for student-athletes. Unequivocally, we believe she is the right coach to build an amazing softball program from the ground up here at Duke. We are ecstatic she is joining the Duke family.

Ha, I thought the same thing! (Or, at least, I wasn't sure of the meaning). Probably should be retitled to include "softball"... Good to have somebody named so they can start getting the proper pieces in place including recruiting. Sounds like a good hire.
