Also earning accolades for a successful 2010-11 season is Notre Dame’s Mike Brey, who has been chosen as Yahoo! Sports’ National Coach of the Year.

No conference in the country this season was as tough as the Big East, yet Brey’s team managed to finish second – just one game behind Pittsburgh – despite losing standout forward Luke Harangody and starting point guard Tory Jackson.

Eighth-ranked Notre Dame will take a 25-5 record into this week’s Big East tournament. The Fighting Irish tout wins over seven ranked opponents – including Pittsburgh on the road – and have lost just one game since Jan. 16.

Judging from his comments a few months ago, Brey probably isn’t all that surprised with his squad’s success.

“This has a chance to be as good of a team as we’ve had here,” the 11th-year coach said. “They’ve been there. They’ve been through adversity last year. They’ve seen a little bit of everything. They have a nice way about them and they love playing together.”

I did not read the article. Didn't read a single every word.

I'm so sexy.

 

[Mr. McGibblets]

Glad for him.

Curious to see who gets Big East Coach of the Year. I thought it would be either Dixon or Lavin.

 

[Veer option]

Good for him.

 

[Irish Fam]

Very deserving. Congratulations Coach Brey
