«That Mike (Brey) is the winningest coach in the 119-year history of Notre Dame men’s basketball speaks to his ability as a master of the game. However, his even greater legacy lies in his accomplishments as an educator and mentor to the youngsters who played for him. In that sense, he represents this university as well as any coach I’ve worked with during my time at Notre Dame. And for that reason, I look forward to working with Mike to define his future role within Notre Dame. «Lady of Athletics».
