Mike Brey to Join Hawks Staff Next Season, per Report
After nearly three decades as a college head coach, Mike Brey is embracing a new challenge at the next level.
Brey is set to join the Hawks staff as an assistant coach in 2023–24, according to a Monday evening report from Tom Noie of The South Bend Tribune. The move comes just over two months after it was reported that Brey would not retire after leaving Notre Dame, where he previously coached.
Atlanta is currently playing—and trailing—the Celtics in the first round of the playoffs after losing Game 1 on Saturday, 112–99. Hawks coach Quin Snyder, like Brey, was previously a head coach in the college ranks at Missouri.
Brey led the Fighting Irish from 1996 to ’23, taking Notre Dame to 13 NCAA tournaments. The Fighting Irish spent time in the top five in 2003, ’11 and ’18 and he was named the Big East’s Coach of the Year on three different occasions. Before his tenure in South Bend, Brey coached Delaware to tournament appearances in 1998 and ’99.
