FAIRFIELD, Conn. — Fairfield coach Carly Thibault-DuDonis had trouble sleeping as a child, so she would often get up and go downstairs to sit with her dad, now-former NBA assistant and WNBA head coach Mike Thibault, who seemed to be always awake and breaking down game film. Thibault-DuDonis would ask questions, becoming a student of the game at a very young age. Now 32, Thibault-DuDonis is in her second year as a head coach, leading Fairfield to a 22-1 record and a 20-game winning streak. The Stags are on the cusp of entering the AP Top 25 for the first time in program history, receiving 28 votes this week.
