SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -Notre Dame basketball coach Mike Brey has promoted Martin Ingelsby to assistant coach, filling the vacancy created when nine-year associate head coach Sean Kearney was hired as head coach at Holy Cross.

Brey said Friday that Ingelsby is considered a rising star in coaching and has gained the respect of other coaches around the country.

Ingelsby has been Notre Dame's coordinator of men's basketball operations since 2003. The Berwyn, Pa., native played point guard for the Irish from 1997-2001.

Holy Cross hired Kearney on Thursday.
