SOUTH BEND ― Handed a life-altering health issue as a high school sophomore, Anthony Schmok thought of what it all meant for him in one specific sport. Not immediately, but eventually, after allowing news that his high school athletic career was done before it really began, Schmok (pronounced Shmoke) thought of football, the sport he jumped into on a whim when he was in sixth grade. Someone suggested that he try a sport. Maybe basketball, which his father, Steve, played. Maybe golf.

SOUTH BEND – Notre Dame basketball lost more than 18 games this past season. The Irish also lost their identity, a swagger that the year before under then-first year coach Micah Shrewsberry, gave an undermanned roster a chance every night in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Between that season and this last one, Notre Dame let slip its defensive identity. Instead of being a team that would grind out games, and a few league wins, Notre Dame played like a team that wanted to outscore you to beat you.
