SOUTH BEND, Ind. – As the son of the head coach, chatter from fans is non-stop. Notre Dame Men's Basketball Head Coach Micah Shrewsberry is coaching his son Braeden in their first year with the Irish.
Some question Braeden's playing time, while others wonder if he should even be on the team.
Whatever critics say, the teenager hears it all.
“I definitely hear a lot of stuff. But I mean, like, I know why I'm here. And I know, like, the work I put in to get here,” Braeden said.
A 25-point game on the road Tuesday against Georgia Tech might quiet the haters.
“I tell him you have a good game like, the hate is always greater than the love. Right? So, like, he knows how hard he's worked as a player to play at this level,” Shrewsberry added.
Shrewsberry mentioned that he has a “responsibility to Notre Dame, not the Shrewsberry family”, when asked about Braeden's playing time.
But that doesn’t make it easy especially when your coach/father has high expectation on creating a culture.
“It's definitely different. You know, it's a lot of pressure, you know, from like, the fans and like, from everybody, just like, people gonna say a lot of stuff about you, you really just kind of tune it out and just focus on the stuff that matters and winning,” Braeden added.
