His knowledge and experience, including his time here at Notre Dame, will be beneficial for many facets of our program.”
Micheletto began serving in his current role with the start of the 2016-17 season.
Micheletto’s addition combined with Jackson, associate head coach Paul Pooley and associate coach Andy Slaggert give the Irish staff over 100 years of coaching experience.
