Micah William Shrewsberry (born July 31, 1976) is an American basketball coach and former college basketball player who is the head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). He previously served as head coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Shrewsberry attended Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, Indiana, and played collegiately at Hanover College where he was a three-year starter and tri-captain, while leading the league in free throw percentage and assists during the 1998–99 season.[1]
Coaching career
After his playing career, Shrewsberry had assistant coaching stops at Wabash and DePauw before joining the coaching staff at Marshall for two seasons under Ron Jirsa. In 2005, Indiana University South Bend named Shrewsberry their head coach. He served until 2007, when he joined Brad Stevens' staff at Butler.[2][1] While with the Bulldogs, Shrewsberry was part of the program's back-to-back NCAA national runner-up coaching staffs.
In 2011, Shrewsberry joined Purdue's coaching staff, where he was credited for helping lead the Purdue Boilermakers to 8.74 turnovers per game, a nation-leading effort.[3] He reunited with Stevens in the NBA ranks, joining the Boston Celtics coaching staff, helping the Celtics to five playoff appearances, including back-to-back Eastern Conference finals.[4] On May 9, 2019, Shrewsberry returned to Purdue as an associate head coach.[5]
Penn State
On March 15, 2021, Penn State named Shrewsberry as the 14th head coach in program history. [6][7]
In just his second season coaching the Nittany Lions, Shrewsberry led the team to a 23–14 record, which saw it finish as runner-up to Purdue in the B1G Tournament and earn its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2011, where it defeated Texas A&M in the first round and narrowly lost to #2-seed Texas in the round of 32, 71–66. The victory over Texas A&M was Penn State's first NCAA Tournament win since 2001. The team set a B1G record for most 3-pointers made in a season and star guard, Jalen Pickett, earned second team All-America honors, the first Nittany Lion to do so since 1954. [8]
Shrewsberry collected more Big Ten wins (17) in his first two seasons than any other Penn State head coach.
Notre Dame
On March 23, 2023, Notre Dame named Shrewsberry the 18th head coach in program history. [9] On January 2, 2026, Shrewsbury chased after an official and had to be restrained by Notre Dame forward Matthew MacLellan following a 72-71 loss to Cal. [10]
