Babby Nuhn, the current varsity head coach at North Branford High School in North Branford, Connecticut, boasts an impressive record spanning from 1972 to 2022, amassing a 557-209-103-7 record, which equates to a remarkable .720 win percentage. During her tenure at North Branford, her teams have achieved outstanding success, securing six state championships, making appearances in eight state championship finals, and clinching 14 conference championships.
Nuhn’s exceptional coaching prowess has garnered her numerous prestigious accolades. She had been honored as the Connecticut High School Coaches Association (CHSCA) Coach of the Year in Class S for both 2010 and 2017. In recognition of her remarkable career, she was inducted into the CHSCA Hall of Fame in 1998, and the National High School Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2019.
“What started out as a teaching and coaching job right out of college in the 70’s became an extremely rewarding career as an educator and coach at North Branford High School in Connecticut,” Nuhn remarked. “And now to be recognized by the NFHCA is the quintessential award of my career! To be included with other Hall of Famers is such a humbling experience. I have been surrounded with strong and positive coaches, parents, players, colleagues, my friends and family, and the entire North Branford community for these five decades. Each of them are the reasons I have stayed with coaching for so long!”
