Is it time for Mike Brey and the Irish to part ways? I hate to say this but I think it is time for him to leave as head coach of the basketball team. The team has not lived up to the expections that they had going into the 2009-2010 season. The team's bench has been a absolute diaster up to this point. Now dont get me wrong, Harangody has played expectional in his senior season but Tory Jackson has been run down due to the high amount minutes he has played throughout the season and Ben Hansbrough has not lived up to his hype he had coming into as a transfer from Mississippi State. I understand that Scott Marrtin went down early in the year with a knee injury and Brey was hoping for him to contribute, but that still doesnt add up to victories in the Big East now they should beat Rutgers on the 30th. I understand it is very tough to get the kind of recuits that you might get at a Kansas or a North Carolina due to the high academic standards Notre Dame has so in that regard i give Brey credit on doing a good job of recuiting players that are not the typically "one and done". bif you look at his last two NCAA tournament apperances-2007 first round and 2008-second round but lets not forget in 2009 they made it to the NIT Final four. Do Irish fans really want to struggle to get into the NCAA tournament every year or not make it and have to play in the NIT, in my opinion i dont think Brey is the answer anymore as the head coach of this team after this season if they dont make the tournament.
