College basketball: 10 potential Mike Brey replacements

Who should replace Brey?

After the way the 2022-23 season has gone it wasn’t the most surprising news to hear that [autotag]Mike Brey[/autotag] would step down as Notre Dame’s head basketball coach at season’s end.  The Irish, who went to the NCAA Tournament 12 times in Brey’s first 17 seasons, have gone dancing just once since the 2017-18 year.

Brey mentioned in his press conference Friday that he’d be helping athletic director [autotag]Jack Swarbrick[/autotag] find the next head coach.  Will Brey and his boss have to go very far?  Will it be someone with Notre Dame roots?  Or could they get really creative in who they decide to pursue?

Here are ten names to look at as Notre Dame hits reset on their men’s basketball program.
