Sad day knowing that John Shumate died. He was a great player at Notre Dame and a big factor in the 1/19/1974 win over UCLA ending their 88 game win streak. Off the court Shu was always humble and cared deeply for others. I will miss him. RIP old friend.

Bill Waltons passing is a sad tragedy. One of the great ones in UCLA basketball history. We were great friends over the years. It won’t be the same without him. May he rest in peace.

What Muffet McGraw accomplished in building ND Women’s Basketball is one of the great moments in ND sports history. To recognize her with a statue on campus is well deserved. Congratulations my friend. Go IRISH! @ndwbb

We became friends when Bob was coaching at West Point. His journey at Indiana made him one of the greatest college coaches ever. He was my mentor for game strategy and teaching defense. He was my big brother. My prayers to his family. May he Rest in Peace.

The legendary coach Denny Crum put the Louisville men’s basketball program on the map as one of the nations best ever. I will never forget all those great games we played against each other. Pray for him to rest in peace. @NDmbb

Terry Holland was one of the class coaches in college basketball. He had some great teams at Virginia. Our friendship went beyond coaching. He will be missed by so many of us. May he rest in peace.

Really awesome Dane! @goldentouchNIL is proud of you too!
Next month I get the opportunity to go deliver chemo care packages to the brave individuals fighting cancer. I hope these autographed stress balls can help make their treatment a little less stressful and I can’t wait to finally get to meet them.

Jack Lorri’s voice will forever more echo throughout the Notre Dame ACC. His timing was always perfect and he knew how to inspire and fire up a crowd. May he Rest In Peace.
