On March 28, 2000, Notre Dame took down Penn State at Madison Square Garden in the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament, and a nondescript web site called NDHoops.com spun up for the first time. Just under four months later, Irish head coach Matt Doherty unceremoniously bolted for North Carolina, NDHoops sagged under the weight of 150k visitors in a single day, and things were really off and running.
Over the years, the site grew into the NDNation.com we all know and … well, know. Coaches came and went during that time, including five … er, four changes on the gridiron.
