- NCAA. Tom Izzo and Michigan State's free throw cancer: a controversial comparison
- NCAA. Olivia Dunne has a doppelgänger: GCU basketball head coach whose uncanny resemblance to the LSU superstar has fans raving
Originally from Springfield, Missouri, Molly Miller has built a successful coaching career, starting in Division II at Drury and now at GCU, where her team could make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament.
She is the hottest name in women's college basketball. The head coach at Grand Canyon University has pushed her team to the limit with impressive wins.
Miller is making a name for herself, and her numbers are helping her make the leap to the 'big leagues'.
Miller's Antelopes are heading to the NCAA Tournament on the heels of an impressive 30-win season, and fans can't get enough of this rising star in the coaching world, who is already being touted as a candidate for several franchises, but she's taking it all in her stride.
Her likeness to Olivia Dunne
As time goes by, fans of women's sports have gradually found her a lost twin, and yes, it would be the gymnast Olivia Dunne.
Of course, there is a difference of 16 years between them, but that doesn't stop the fans from having fun and making their comments.
In a post on social media, where they pointed out that she could end up in Arkansas, the fans didn't give much importance to the rumor, they just joked about her strong resemblance to Olivia Dunne.
"Isn't that Livvy Dunne?"
"An unobtrusive thought: that was Livvy Dunne"
"Dribby Dunne?"
These were some of the comments that could be read. However, Dunne's departure from LSU as a gymnast leaves a sense of nostalgia, while Miller's promotion as a coach generates great expectations.
Molly Miller is the most sought after
Whether she continues at Grand Canyon or s an elite program, one thing is for sure: Molly Miller is on the rise and on everyone's lips.
And it should come as no surprise that she will earn a privileged position with her great results.
The outcome will depend on several factors: her personal ambitions, the offers she receives and the GCU can offer to keep her. She will certainly want to continue to build her name and market, so a challenge elsewhere may be what she ultimately chooses.
What is beyond doubt is that her value will continue to rise with the results she brings, her future is unknown, but the decision she makes will be the best for her career.
