Muffet McGraw, the head coach of Notre Dame's women's basketball team, will be enshrined in Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Friday evening.

McGraw has 853 career wins, seven Final Fours and a national title.

The event will be broadcast live on NBA-TV beginning with the red carpet show at 6:30 p.m. The Enshrinement Ceremony follows at 7:30 p.m.

“It’s been such a great time to reflect back on all of the assistant coaches, all of the amazing players that I’ve had,” McGraw said. “It’s really something that I rarely do - usually I’m looking forward to what’s coming next. So, it’s really been great to talk to all the players and coaches and just to think about this 30-year career at Notre Dame. I mean, it’s amazing that I’ve been able to stay here that long, and I’m just so lucky to be here.”

She received her orange Hall of Fame jacket Thursday in the middle of the Jerry Colangelo Court of Dreams.

The other members of the Class of 2017 include Robert Hughes, Tracy McGrady, Bill Self, Rebecca Lobo, Mannie Jackson, Tom Jernstedt, Jerry Krause, Zack Clayton, Nick Galis and George McGinnis. [Click here to read their profiles]
