University of Delaware Director of Athletics and Recreation Services Chrissi Rawak announced Tuesday afternoon that Notre Dame assistant coach Martin Ingelsby has been selected as the Blue Hens’ new men’s basketball head coach.

One of the top young assistant coaches in college basketball today, Ingelsby will be formally introduced in a ceremony on Wednesday, May 25, at 11 a.m. in the Bob Carpenter Center Auditorium. The announcement will be carried live on www.bluehens.com.

Prior to the formal announcement, media members will have the opportunity to sit down with Ingelsby and Rawak for a question and answer session in the Bob Carpenter Center at 10:30 a.m.

A native of Berwyn, Pa. and a former standout player for the Irish in 1997-2001, Ingelsby, 37, has served on head coach Mike Brey‘s staff for 13 seasons, including the last seven as an assistant after serving six seasons as coordinator of basketball operations.

Brey served as Delaware’s head coach for five seasons (1995-2000) and led the Blue Hens to NCAA Tournament appearances in 1998 and 1999.

While at Notre Dame, Ingelsby has led the Irish to eight NCAA Tournament appearances, including consecutive berths in the NCAA Regional Finals in 2015 and 2016. Notre Dame went 32-6 in 2014-15 and followed with a 24-12 mark this past season.

Ingelsby was a three-year starter at point guard and averaged 8.2 points and a team-high 6.4 assists per game as a senior in 2001-01 when he led Notre Dame to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in a decade. He earned his degree in marketing in 2001.

Before joining the Irish staff in 2003-04, he was an assistant coach at Wagner College in 2002-03 and helped lead the team to its first ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
