I’m not sure if its fitting or if its the exact opposite that a couple of traditional football powerhouses had their own March madness in regards to their head basketball coach.
Penn State reportedly made [autotag]Micah Shrewsberry[/autotag] a generous offer to remain its head coach in the wake of his being courted by Notre Dame. According to multiple reports, Shrewsberry has decided to leave Penn State for Notre Dame.
This comes after he spent two seasons at Penn State. He is fresh off an NCAA Tournament appearance that included a first-round upset of seventh-seeded Texas A&M. Penn State finished 23-14 and reached the Big Ten Tournament championship game, in which it took top-seeded Purdue to the wire.
Shrewsberry is considered a mastermind offensively as the Nittany Lions ranked 13th in adjusted offensive efficiency this season. The 46-year-old spent the majority of his coaching career in the state of Indiana. He was an assistant at Wabash, DePauw, Butler and Indiana-South Bend. He also spent more than half a decade with the Boston Celtics.
More on this breaking news story as it develops. In the meantime, enjoy a few photos of Shrewsberry during his time at Penn State below.
