Michael Paul Brey, born on March 22, 1959, is a highly respected figure in the world of basketball coaching. Known for his strategic acumen and leadership, Brey has had a long and successful career, most notably as the head coach of the University of Notre Dame men's basketball team. He held this position for 23 seasons, from 2000 until his resignation at the conclusion of the 2022–23 season. During his tenure, Brey transformed Notre Dame into a competitive force in college basketball, consistently leading the team to NCAA Tournament appearances and earning a reputation for developing well-rounded players.

Brey's coaching career began long before his time at Notre Dame. He served as an assistant coach at Duke University under the legendary Mike Krzyzewski, where he was part of two national championship teams in 1991 and 1992. His experience at Duke helped shape his coaching philosophy, emphasizing teamwork, discipline, and a high basketball IQ. Brey later became the head coach at the University of Delaware, where he led the Blue Hens to two NCAA Tournament appearances, further solidifying his credentials as a top-tier coach.

At Notre Dame, Brey achieved numerous milestones, including leading the Fighting Irish to back-to-back Elite Eight appearances in 2015 and 2016. His ability to adapt to different styles of play and his focus on player development made him one of the most respected coaches in college basketball. Brey was also known for his calm demeanor on the sidelines, earning him the nickname "The Mayor" for his approachable and steady leadership. His contributions to the program extended beyond wins and losses, as he played a pivotal role in shaping the culture of Notre Dame basketball.

In 2023, Brey transitioned to the professional ranks, joining the Atlanta Hawks as an assistant coach in the NBA. This move marked a new chapter in his illustrious career, bringing his wealth of experience to the highest level of basketball. Brey's legacy as a coach is defined not only by his success on the court but also by the impact he has had on the lives of his players, many of whom have gone on to successful careers in basketball and beyond. His influence on the game continues to be felt at both the collegiate and professional levels.
