Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Kari Hoffman needed years of perseverance, hard work and self-belief to transform herself into a candidate to be the next Wright State women’s basketball coach.
But she needed only a few hours on campus to land the job.
Athletic director Bob Grant, who has made a slew of successful hires, said he knew in the first minute after meeting her that he probably had the right person for the position. And that was only reinforced through the interview process after that.
“She blew everyone away,” he said. “She was as impressive as any candidate we’ve had in any search we’ve done.
“She was consistently impressive throughout a day that encompasses 60 or 70 people meeting with her, and all of them had the same feedback — that she was a joy to be around.”
