A New Era for Notre Dame Basketball
Head coach Micah Shrewsberry took the podium to outline the latest changes to his support staff, emphasizing continuity and experience as the program prepares for the next chapter.
Mike Farrelly, who has spent five years within the program, was elevated to associate head coach. His national recognition on the Silver Waves Media 100 Most Impactful High Major Assistant Coaches List underscores the influence he has had on player development and game strategy.
Tony Rack joins the Irish after stints at Winthrop, Western Carolina and Northern Kentucky. At Winthrop he helped shape Logan Duncomb, the 2026 Big South Player of the Year, into a dominant interior presence, a track record that excites the coaching staff.
Isaiah Thompson returns to the fold as player development and recruiting coordinator. He previously worked alongside Shrewsberry at Purdue, where his contributions were credited with the rise of Braden Smith, a two‑time First Team All‑American.
Colin McGettigan arrives as director of basketball operations. His background includes roles with the Milwaukee Bucks and USA Basketball, bringing a blend of professional and international experience to the administrative side of the program.
The reshaped staff reflects a blend of internal promotion and external expertise, a strategy Coach Shrewsberry says will keep Notre Dame competitive in the ever‑evolving landscape of college basketball.
