I received three calls from one of his assistant coaches during the season. He wanted to know what channel the OSU game would be shown. He was letting local recruits know. He also called and asked me about several Central Ohio players and did I have any contacts. I offered to have him stay with us and have home-cooked meals but he never could arrange it. It was strange as that I had no direct connection to the basketball program so he may have just selected me out of the alumni list.




I remember when he called the students to rush the court

I can't remember which game it was, maybe the last of the regular season?

He had a lot of energy. At the time, sophomore me wrote him a letter trying to convince him to stay. I don't know that his tenure at ND would have had to match what happened at UNC. But I also am not privy to player info, and I trust that many of his players were unhappy at ND, as we have been told.

I am thankful, he left, however. I've since met Brey a couple of times in passing and he has been incredibly gracious. I don't think his recruiting has been fantastic, but I think he gets a lot out of his players. And he hasn't embarrased us. We could do a heck of a lot worse.
