Having grown up in the state of Connecticut, Thibault-DuDonis is excited to return to the state to lead the Fairfield program.
“Connecticut’s an area that I’m comfortable with, have lived in, played high school basketball–AAU basketball in this area. So for a lot of reasons it was a great fit.”
Thibault-DuDonis also comes from a distinguised basketball family. She explains to Howard what it’s like to be part of a family of coaches — her father is Mike Thibault, head coach of the WNBA’s Washington Mystics. Her brother is Mystics assistant coach Eric Thibault, and her husband is rising coaching star Blake DuDonis.
