Wednesday night, Mike Brey walked onto the court at Purcell Pavilion for the final time as the head coach of the Notre Dame men’s basketball team. When he left the court, his team had just upset No. 25 and ACC-leading Pitt. Although the 11-19 record (3-16 ACC) isn’t up to the standard college basketball fans have come to expect from Brey and the Irish, it was certainly a fitting closing for the coach.
Brey spent 23 years at the helm of Notre Dame, leading the Irish to a 482-275 (64%) record. He’s the winningest coach in ND history, and has 13 NCAA tournament appearances and a 2015 ACC tournament title. But there’s one thing he hasn’t done.
