On Sunday, a expressive micah shrewsberry rushed into the lack of support of the fans and struck a microphone before storming his post-match press conference after his team from Notre Dame fell to Louisville in South Bend for Speak to 11-14 this season. Shrewsberry’s frustrations have boiled after cooking calls for his eviction and a perception that fans have stopped not only from him, but also of his team.
“I understand that many people have resigned and well deserved,” he said. “If you hate me, absolutely, guy. Awesome. If you think I suck, if you think I can’t coach, I’m with you, good. Well. Well for you, because you have the right to have opinions.
“Many people have abandoned this team,” he continued. “They abandoned me. I don’t really have them. I believe in me, and I believe in these guys, okay? So don’t give up these guys. Do not give up these children. Me.”
Crescendo de Shrewsberry has a cracking of challenge and anger in which he said he knew he can train basketball but cannot help but look after more fans from Louisville than the Fans of Notre-Dame Sunday evening at the Irish Home match.
“I don’t care about anyone’s opinion,” he said. “Yes, I put us in this difficult situation. But do not come back when we win. Everyone who abandoned me, believe it.”
He then burst into frustration and hit the microphone before him.
The defeat on Sunday against Louisville marked the fourth of Notre Dame in his last five outings and left the Irish at 11-14 this season and 5-9 in ACC Play. A year after a 13-20 campaign in the first season of Shrewsberry as a chief coach, they are likely to finish below .500 and miss the NCAA tournament prohibiting a surprise turnaround.
Shrewsberry, however, maintains the hope of a turnaround – even if it doesn’t happen this season.
“We are going to ride this thing,” he said just before concluding his post-match media. “Write this appointment and believe it. I don’t care if you have abandoned me or not.”
Notre Dame is projected by Kenpom.com to be an outsider in each of her next four games before a two -game home stand to close the regular season against Stanford and Cal, where he is currently thin favorites.
Despite two losing seasons in two years under Shrewsberry, Notre Dame has gathered a recruitment class among the first five for next year led by four four-star recruits and the Star of the State Jalen Haralson, a guardian of the top-20 of Light. The heart of the team is also relatively young and could ensure a certain continuity if they are able to keep some of their best talents. Shrewsberry very appreciated in the coache community after having turned around a moribund program of Penn State, leading the Nittany Lions in the Big Ten Championship match in 2023 (they lost against Purdue by two points) and won their first game tournament match NCAA since 2001.
