Zona...you have been here awhile...has this moron really been spewing this trash about Brey for 17 years? wow....he needs to be in a rubber room...
Signed yes but they don't t get the salary agreed to unless they are on the regular season roster. Weak backpedal. Do a little research. Google is your friend.When you sign a contract you are getting paid to play ... really the definition of a professional .... you of course would like to call it a backpedal .... the clown show never wants to acknowledge the facts ....
Moron doesn't need google....if he says its true..it is a fact. Whatever fits the asshat's narrative....
I have a posted on and off at this site for years. Bug as far as I can remember wanted Brey fired for years. Brey had some off years but mostly the Irish have been competitive in the big east and ACC. Bug makes value judgments on Brey on his coaching abilities. The reality is Brey will eventually have an off year and he will point to some inane issue that he does not use a clipboard or the players coach themselves. Brey is a players coach and overall the Irish are competitive on the national stage. The iriish have rarely been a dominant program. Only a few years under Digger did they have a team that could possibly win a NC. I am a graduate of LaSalle and they will always be my team The Irish will be second when it comes to basketball, LaSalle is a small regional school that cannot compete consistently on the national stage. Notre Dame can compete consistently but right will not get the Kentucky type of talent.
I think what he is trying to say is Brey is a cheer leader not a coach. Coaches do X's and O's. utter nonsense. I gave up discussing anything like this with him. he thinks the way he does and can not make a logical argument. I will just point out facts once in a while.
So why would you keep posting? I would bet that everyone on this site knows he hates the bball coach...what is the purpose of posting crap that you know people are go to hammer you over? Dude must have a persecution complex...or a real shitty life! But hey...hope it continues....it is fun to laugh at him...
Weak argument .... everything opposite your wrong opinion is a backpedal to you .... even when the facts say otherwise ..... welcome to the clown show
Been here longer than your 3 .... I've seen plenty of clueless folks like yourself come and go ... lots of stupidity in the world
Eventually have a year off? .... LOL! ... the 1st 15 years were all full of disappointment ... and finally in year 16 they make the sweet 16 on the backs of an almost complete NBA caliber starting lineup ... and now he suddenly only has an off year once in a while .... LOL! ... Digger was a long time ago and if you knew anything you'd know ND joining a conference boosted the program to places anyone before couldn't ... ND competes with players ... period ... Brey hasn't coached a game yet ...
When things went bad, the weight of Notre Dame basketball landed on Eric Atkins' raw-boned shoulders. Still he rested easy. After struggling to maybe five hours' sleep nightly as a freshman, a sophomore floor leader and captain for a team in free fall somehow managed eight or nine.
Maybe he saw what no one else saw in the imminent Irish revival. Though that bit of necromancy faltered Saturday when a nine-game win streak ended at St. John's, Atkins crouching with head in hands at the buzzer suggested what comes next: Tireless intent to redirect his team Monday at Georgetown.
"It's basically whatever Eric says, goes," said Jerian Grant, Atkins' backcourt mate. "Coach (Mike Brey) writes up the game plan, he shows us which way to go. Once we get on the court, it's all Eric."
During this two-month run, Atkins isn't No. 20 Notre Dame's leading scorer. He isn't even Notre Dame's assist leader. But he is, without question, its lead voice while on the attack.
He was handed the ball in October. He was handed the captaincy in December. He has been handed full rein of the offense, basically, and his choreography has produced an improbable NCAA tournament club.
"Coming out of a timeout, I usually call the play, or at halftime I call the play we're going to do at first," said Atkins, who averages 12.7 points and four assists. "(Brey) really trusts me and allows me to call out things on the offensive side of the ball. Whatever I'm comfortable with, we usually go with."
It has been a progression. Brey felt Atkins focused on floor generalship "to a fault" early, so the Irish coach encouraged his point guard to hunt his shot more.
"I'm not much of an x's and o's guy" - Brey
"Often during a time out I say nothing" - Brey
Do you know who Gene Cross is? .... google it ..... if you ever saw ND come out of a TO ... down a pt .... last possession .... ???? .... they've run basically the same non-play for 17 years .... fact
Says the angry dumb guy ... the happy guy is the ankle biter who swears a ton ..... and whines about me incessantly .... like now ...

bug, you ramble but do not make any sense in your recent posts. how did brey get to the elite 8 2 years in a row. the 2015 he had decent talent. the 2016 team had less talent but it was OK nothing spectacular. This years team is not as a good as last year team but competitive. the fact is we have 3 players in the NBA. I have no idea who can make the NBA from this team. And I do not care who Gene Cross is or what his opinion is. Brey get very good production out of 3 star and some 4 stars
So why don't you explain that play to us all....since it is a fact. I watched the Fla St game last nite and ND ran at least 3 different ob plays...FACT.
Connaughton and Grant coached the team....Brey was just along for the ride...just ask dipshit, he will tell you that. But he posted the Grant/Atkins quotes again...ya gotta love that! Zona....it's all Eric....lmao!
I couldn't watch the game .... but maybe you can let me know which assistant drew it up .... like Gene Cross .... the light apparently never goes on over there
Brey is good at recruiting under the radar talent .... his m o is going with guys who can flat out shoot it which is good .... too bad he puts them in a system with no leader ... on the bench anyways .... Brey cares zero about shot selection or putting those good shooters in position to get more open looks ... and has no interest in attacking the paint other than to let players drive the lane at will wether there is a lane or not
I get that quoting the players themselves ... directly ... telling you who runs the show is out of your realm of comprehension
Brey got to the Elite 8 with seniors who have NBA talent and the leadership abilities to run the team ... not to mention last year played out great as each higher seed in their bracket got upset before they got to ND .... fortunate ... then there is the old adage of a bling dog and a bone ..... after 15 years of disappointment I thought something good might happen even if by accident

Matt Doherty always used a clipboard...where is he coaching these days?
Another great nonresponse to weakly cover the fact you know zero

Dude...if you ever even dream that you know more than me about coaching a team...wake up and apologize. But keep posting...I love laughing at you...
Never offer a rebuttal ... try to change subject .... then accuse others of backpedaling .... ad nauseam
This is what one does when they have no answer .... surely if Doherty didn't decide to leave he would still be there .... lucky for Brey ....
I KNOW a coach when I see one .... and I KNOW Hawaii is part of the USA with wifi .... and I KNOW we are living in "The Dark Ages" .... not "The Black Ages"
LOL!
And I know Brey has the team playing fun and exciting basketball...and I know bug is the biggest narcissist on the board...she doesn't really care either way about Brey, but having the back-and-forth with posters makes her feel better about herself
You said 5 players in the NBA. Myself and others pointed out that said claim was factually not true. You offered some nonsense about signed contracts that you obviously don't understand. An obvious weak backpedal when clearly proven wrong on your claim.
Like Matt Doherty...lmao...Hey stupid, did you KNOW that ND ONE yesterday? Keep studying because it's important that you get A EDUCATION. Make sure you NEVR give up...LOLOLOL
.....Echo..you are dead on 100% correct....but you must realize this asshat is NEVR wrong....
Like Matt Doherty...lmao...Hey stupid, did you KNOW that ND ONE yesterday? Keep studying because it's important that you get A EDUCATION. Make sure you NEVR give up...LOLOLOL
You don't KNOW the difference .... but unlike you I can and do correct my own mistakes all the time ..... when I have 5 minutes to respond to 6 clowns .... it happens ... typos are one thing .. but saying Hawaii is out of the country and talking about "The Black Ages" is another
When you sign a contract you are part of that team/organization .... if there are only 3 now so be it .... none the less .... the point stands ... 5 players with NBA talent .... is 3 on your starting 5 make the point valid .... if you're trying to counterpoint that the team wasn't loaded enough ... you're lost
Anothe weak example of constant deflecting from the WHOLE point .... which you never address ..... because you can't
Players like free reign ... it is fun for them .... I read yesterday that Farrell and Beachem called out the offense ... VJ when I give you the ball just shoot it ... every time ... ok .... so they did .... it worked
Isn't it fun to see a team doing so well and having fun. Playing free and easy is great compared to watching kids who are afraid of getting ripped by their coach.
I am sure that Beachem and Farrel would have much rather looked over at your fat ass on the sideline telling them to run the "thumbs-up" play! Cuz, that's real coaching, telling the whole team what you want run....making sure the crowd knows that you are calling the plays...I am sure kids from all over the country would be clamoring to play for you. And during time-outs you could take out your autographed Matt Doherty clipboard and show them new plays to run....lmao....you really are an asshole...

Only 5 minutes to respond??? Is Walmart that busy now? I guess stacking the shelves with all that rock salt and grass seed, mulch etc...must be pretty taxing. Plus all the clean-ups on aisle 6....man, you must be booked!
Basketball is not supposed to be fun for the players....it's much more fun to be bitched at and spoon fed plays....this asswipe thinks people pluck down $25 to see him stand on the sideline and put 2 fingers in the air. "Look at me, we are running the 2 play because I run the show."

So based on your logic had I signed the free agent contract I was offered by the Washington redskins I would have officially been in the NFL. That's funny. Yes brey has had some talented players who have made the NBA. Brey and his tutelage is a big reason why those 3 are there.When you sign a contract you are part of that team/organization .... if there are only 3 now so be it .... none the less .... the point stands ... 5 players with NBA talent .... is 3 on your starting 5 make the point valid .... if you're trying to counterpoint that the team wasn't loaded enough ... you're lost
