Feb 17, 2025; South Bend, Indiana, USA; Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach Niele Ivey talks to guard Hannah Hidalgo (3) in the second half against the Duke Blue Devils at the Purcell Pavilion. Mandatory Credit: Matt Cashore-Imagn Images Notre Dame hired alumnus Pat Garrity on Tuesday to serve as general manager of the Fighting Irish men’s and women’s basketball teams.
The dual GM role is new at Notre Dame and is believed to be only the second such role — overseeing both men’s and women’s sports — in college athletics. Baker Dunleavy holds a similar position, created in 2023, for Villanova’s basketball programs.
Garrity, 48, will also oversee men’s basketball as its primary sports administrator.
Garrity graduated in 1998 and was drafted in the first round (19th overall) that year by the Milwaukee Bucks. He still ranks fifth in Notre Dame school history with 2,085 career points.
The 6-foot-9 forward spent 10 seasons in the NBA with the Phoenix Suns (1998-99) and Orlando Magic (1999-2008) and averaged 7.3 points and 2.6 rebounds in 552 games (107 starts).
He was the assistant general manager of the Detroit Pistons from 2016-20.
“I’m thrilled to be returning to Notre Dame,” Pat Garrity stated. “At every point in my career and life, Notre Dame has always been a second home for me and my family. The University has shaped who I am, and its values resonate deeply within me.
“… Thank you for your trust and for providing me with this amazing new opportunity. I can’t wait to begin serving our exceptional student-athletes in both programs and contributing to the broader mission of our athletic department and the University.”
The Notre Dame men’s team finished 15-18 (8-12 ACC) in 2024-25 under second-year coach Micah Shrewsberry, missing the NCAA Tournament for a third straight season.
The women’s team went 28-6 (16-2 ACC) last season under fifth-year coach Niele Ivey, reaching the Sweet 16 for the fourth straight season.
Garrity’s responsibilities include developing long-term strategies for roster management in the transfer portal era, as well as budget analysis, revenue generation, fundraising, alumni relations and facility management.
“We could not be more excited to welcome back Pat to Notre Dame,” athletic director Pete Bevacqua said. “With the pace of change in college sports, we knew we had to find someone that could support Micah and Niele with all that’s required of high-level basketball programs off the court, while they focused on coaching and supporting our amazing student-athletes.
“Being able to bring in someone like Pat, who’s a Notre Dame alumnus, former student-athlete, 10-year NBA veteran, former NBA front office executive and Notre Dame parent, made him the perfect candidate from the start.”

Kevin De Bruyne will leave Man City in a privileged position – but this exit must still be painful
Between the statue, the mural, the mosaic, the renaming of a road at the training ground, a host of legends sending their regards and current team-mates hoisting him up into the air, there is not much more that Manchester City could have done to give Kevin De Bruyne a fitting send-off.Ever since De Bruyne announced his departure from City at the start of April, there have been a tidal wave of plaudits and tributes. Even the Goodison Park faithful clapped him off after he had helped see off Everton last month.AdvertisementAfter being thrust into debates about the best players to have ever graced the Premier League and hailed as City’s best ever player by chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak — a not insignificant claim — he can be left in no doubt about how he will be remembered.He stood on the […]
Nächster Schritt enthüllt! – Liverpool macht ernst im Poker um Florian Wirtz
In der Chefetage des FC Bayern ist man sich absolut sicher: Florian Wirtz wird diesen Sommer oder spätestens 2026 zum Rekordmeister wechseln. Das wurde dem Klub so zugesagt. Den Flug der Familie Wirtz am vergangenen Dienstag nach England, den BILD exklusiv enthüllt hatte, nahm man daher gelassen zur Kenntnis. Aufsichtsrat Uli Hoeneß (73) ging sogar so weit, den England-Trip zu bestätigen und – was bisher nur Verhandlungsgerüchte waren – als Fakt einzuordnen. Wirtz, berichtete Hoeneß aus gut informierten Kreisen, war „in Liverpool“. Offen ließ Hoeneß, ob die Bayern wissen, wie ernst es den „Reds“ bei ihrem Werben ist.Nach SPORT BILD-Informationen macht der FC Liverpool im Poker um Wirtz den nächsten Schritt.

How Yankees’ injured ace Gerrit Cole has helped Will Warren’s surge
NEW YORK — The credit goes to Will Warren. The New York Yankees rookie posted a career-best 10 strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings in a 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. It extended Warren’s impressive early-season turnaround.He has done it with a mixture of growing confidence and comfort in the major leagues and with nasty stuff the team’s highly regarded pitching apparatus has helped him hone.AdvertisementHe has also done it with a little bit of help from Gerrit Cole, the Yankees’ injured ace who has become a mentor to the 25-year-old.“Whenever he pulls me aside,” Warren said, “I’m going to listen.”Cole won’t pitch this season. The 34-year-old righty had Tommy John surgery in February. The Yankees hope he’s an option for them before the 2026 All-Star break.It was a major blow for the Yankees, […]
How Thunder’s historically great defense could end Western Conference finals before series really even begins
Imagn Images The Oklahoma City Thunder were the NBA's best team this season for a number of reasons, and for all the same reasons, they were the heavy betting favorite to win the championship entering their conference finals matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. They have the almost certain MVP in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. They're almost unfairly deep in an era where it has become somewhere between difficult and outright impossible to adequately fund an effective middle and bottom part of a playoff rotation. They genuinely love playing not with each other, but for each other. They are versatile, well-coached and, evolutionarily, stationed smack dab in the deadly intersection of being a dominant team that still has to prove its dominance. These are the extremely strong bones of OKC's potential championship structure, but the foundation upon which the team with the best point […]
