Mike Brey now sits atop my very short list of favorite college basketball coaches!

Mike Brey now sits atop my very short list of favorite college basketball coaches!

When Mike Brey stopped wearing turtle necks under his suit coats, I thought there was hope for him. And then he told the media his brother coaches should “shut up and adjust” to NIL, and I fell in love! Notre Dame men’s basketball coach Mike Brey is not a whiner.  Sadly, that places him in a distinct minority among those in his profession. Here is what Brey said at the ACC spring meetings last…

ND Men's Basketball: Welcome To The Madness

ND Men’s Basketball: Welcome To The Madness

Welcome to the Madness! Sorry I have been gone for so long! When your writing office becomes your work office you don’t want to spend much time there. What a day to kick off the dust and write a story on a great game. After landing in San Diego early on St Patrick’s Day, the Fightin’ Irish still had work to do. Besides media responsibilities, the team still needed to find time to get some sleep.…

U.S. Army Fort Hood Active Duty Personnel Compete In 360 Hoops Tournament

It was a day that 360 Hoops coaches and, hopefully, active duty personnel and their children won’t soon forget. On Sunday, August 29, 360 Hoops (www.play360hoops.com) conducted an open tournament for 12 teams of soldiers and a youth clinic for more than 40 boys and girls at U.S. Army Fort Hood, highlighting the patented three-on-three version of basketball which features a patented circular court and three connected baskets and backboards attached to one pole.

University of Notre Dame Head Men’s Basketball Coach Mike Brey also took some time to meet the soldiers and kids to talk basketball and life in between sessions at the Fort Hood physical fitness center. Team Burba Elite topped Team Takeover, 20-17, to win the title, a battle between #1 seeds previously unbeaten in the tournament.

“360 Hoops is proud to support the outstanding men and women of Fort Hood by bringing our brand of basketball to the post,” said 360 Hoops CEO Archie McEachern. “We can’t thank them enough for allowing us to share our vision of the game and provide a day of competition to these amazing individuals.”

The day began with a youth clinic for kids ages 7-13, introducing the youngsters to the three-basket format and focusing on some fundamentals applicable to full-court basketball as well. Then 12 teams took to the three courts for several hours of action.

360 Hoops, the brainchild of Shane Brey and fellow co-founder Anthony Gomez, is an exciting, inclusive addition to the shape of basketball at all levels, incorporating a three-on-three, three-basket game played on a circular court. Teams compete on the circular court, which features a proprietary single stanchion with three regulation baskets facing away in each direction. Players can score for their teams in any of the three baskets.

Mike Brey's Mother Passed Before Notre Dame Win Over Butler

Our prayers go out to the entire Brey family.

On the same day Notre Dame coach Mike Brey finally earned his first Sweet 16 berth, he lost the most important woman in his life.

Brey announced minutes after the Irish’s 67-64 win over Butler on Saturday that his mother, Betty, had died that morning of a heart attack. She was 84.

“It was kind of a tribute to her,” Brey said of the game. “It was…

Coach Brey's Legendary Tweet

Though his tweets are often few and far between, men’s basketball head coach Mike Brey (@NDMikeBrey) made some serious waves in the Twittersphere on Friday.

— Mike Brey (@NDMikeBrey) August 10, 2012

Georgia rapper 2 Chainz was in the area last week for a concert at the Century Center, and evidently, Coach Brey ran into him during his time in South Bend.

Following Brey’s tweet, which got more than 300 retweets and nearly 90 favorites, Myron Metcalf posted an interesting story about the connection between basketball and hip-hop on the ESPN.com College Basketball Nation blog.

Much of the article is focused on the Irish coach, even asking, “Is Brey working on a new track for an upcoming album? Does 2 Chainz have remaining eligibility and an unstoppable crossover?”

While we’re not sure if they became “dawgs” while waiting at the airport, or if there is in fact, a previous connection between Brey and 2 Chainz, one thing is certain – our Twitter streams would all be more interesting if Coach Brey starts tweeting on a regular basis.
