Okay, so I was watching some college basketball the other day, Notre Dame I think it was. This player, Braeden Shrewsberry, caught my eye. Good shooter. But the name, Shrewsberry, it just kinda rang a bell, you know? Couldn’t immediately place it, but it felt familiar.

It bugged me a little, like one of those things on the tip of your tongue. So, next time I caught one of their games, I made a point to listen more closely to the commentators. You know how they always give background stuff.
Figuring it Out
Sure enough, they started talking about him playing for his dad. And I thought, “Okay, his dad’s the coach.” But then it clicked. Micah Shrewsberry. That’s the name I knew. He coached at Penn State before Notre Dame. I remembered seeing him on the sidelines there.
So, I basically went through these steps:
- Noticed the player, Braeden Shrewsberry.
- Felt the name was familiar.
- Paid attention during the broadcast.
- Heard he played for his father, the coach.
- Connected the coach’s name, Micah Shrewsberry, to his previous job at Penn State.
It wasn’t exactly rocket science, just putting two and two together while watching the game and listening in. It’s always kinda interesting when you see that father-son, coach-player thing happening at a high level. You watch their interactions a bit differently, wondering about the dynamic.
Anyway, that was my little journey figuring out the connection. Just started with a familiar name and followed the thread. Pretty straightforward stuff once the commentators mentioned the dad coaching him.
