Notre Dame men’s basketball coach Mike Brey will step away from his position effective at the end of the season, the school announced on Thursday afternoon.
“Mike and I have talked often in recent years about a future transition in the program’s leadership and during our most recent conversation we reached the mutual conclusion that the end of this season represented the right time,” director of athletics Jack Swarbrick said in a statement. “That Mike is the winningest coach in the 119 year history of Notre Dame men’s basketball speaks to his skill as a teacher of the game. His even greater legacy, however, lies in his achievements as an educator and mentor of the young men who played for him. In that sense, he represents this university as well as any coach I have worked with in my time at Notre Dame. And for that reason, I look forward to working with Mike to define his future role within Notre Dame athletics.”
