Kyle Getter 2024-25 Men's Basketball Staff

Kyle Getter signed on to Coach Shrewsberry’s staff as Associate Head Coach on April 20, 2023. He will continue to patrol the Irish sidelines for the 2024-25 season in year two. Getter arrived in South Bend after a successful five-year stint at Virginia. 

“I am truly honored for the chance to work with Coach Shrewsberry and the rest of the staff at the University of Notre Dame. My family and I are very blessed with the opportunity to become a part of such a prestigious institution with a great basketball tradition.”

“I am very excited to be adding Kyle to our staff. He’s a rising star in this business with a proven track record for success at each of the stops along his coaching journey,” Shrewsberry said. “Kyle has a relentless work ethic and incredible attention to detail. He’s an integral piece of what we are trying to accomplish and build here at Notre Dame. We are excited to welcome Kyle, his wife Michelle, his son William and daughter Madelyn.”

In year one with the Irish, Coach Getter and company essentially started from scratch with just 1.7 percent of Irish scoring return. The staff established the right culture and claimed some big wins in the ACC, which included ones over future NCAA Tournament participants Virginia and Clemson. The Irish won six of its last 10 and finished with a 7-13 league record after achieving just three ACC wins the year prior. 

Getter also spent some time developing one of the most talented and young backcourts in the ACC in Markus Burton and Braeden Shrewsberry. Burton won the 2024 ACC Rookie of the Year award and broke the program’s freshman scoring record after dropping 577 points. Shrewsberry broke the program record for most made three-pointers during an ACC season with 55. The duo averaged a combined 27.7 ppg on the season.

Notre Dame’s defense was a year one staple under the new staff. ND’s scoring defense of 67.2 finished 49th in the country and third in the ACC. Of the 20 ACC games and 14 different opponents, all but three were held under their season averages (only six reached the 70-point mark).

 Getter spent three seasons as UVA’s director of recruiting/player development and the final two as an assistant coach. Getter, known as a tireless recruiter, built and established excellent relationships around the UVA program.

In his time with the Cavaliers, Getter was a part of the 2019 National Championship, three ACC regular-season championships (2019, 2021, 2023), a second-place ACC finish in 2020 and a runner-up finish in the 2023 ACC Tournament. 

In his three years as an assistant, the Cavaliers posted a combined 64-29 record, which included 25 victories during the most recent 2022-23 campaign. The Hoos ranked nationally in many categories as well for the 2022-23 season: first nationally in assist/turnover ratio (1.85) and turnovers per game (8.6), sixth in scoring defense (60.3 ppg), 17th in turnover margin (3.8), 20th in fouls per game (14.3) and 24th in assists per game (15.8) and winning percentage (78.1%).

Prior to Virginia, Getter served three seasons as an assistant coach at Liberty, producing a 43-29 combined record over the final two years. Getter also served one season at Liberty in 2008-09, helping the Flames to a then-school record 23 wins.

Backtracking even more, Getter spent four seasons on staff at Radford, where he assisted the Highlanders to a two-year record of 44-25, the highest win total over any two-year period in program history at that time.

Prior to Radford, Getter played an integral part in VCU’s success in the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons, which included a remarkable run in 2011. The Rams went from the First Four to the Final Four with wins over USC, Georgetown, Purdue, Florida State and Kansas. While on Shaka Smart’s staff, the Rams posted 55 wins over two seasons, which, at the time, was the highest total over any two-year span in program history.

Getter also served as an assistant coach at Walsh University in Ohio, where he helped the Cavaliers post a 26-5 record, win the AMC Championship, and make a Sweet 16 appearance in the NAIA Division II National Tournament. Walsh was ranked in the top 5 in the country for the majority of the 2007-2008 campaign.

Getter has also worked at Marshall, Wright State, and the University of Dayton. While at Dayton, the Flyers finished the season with a 24-6 record after winning the 2003 A-10 Tournament championship and finished the season ranked No. 16 in the AP Poll.  He has also been a member of the NABC Division I Assistant Coaches Committee since 2012.

A native of Miamisburg, Ohio, Getter received his undergraduate degree in physical education from Hanover College in 2001 – same college as Shrewsberry who graduated in 1999. Getter earned his master’s degree in educational leadership from the University of Dayton in 2004. 

While at Hanover, he served as both a student assistant and assistant men’s basketball coach from 1999-2002. He helped the team earn a three-year record of 60-18 and two HCAC championships. Before attending Hanover, Getter played two seasons at Centre College in Kentucky.

Getter and his wife, Michelle, have a son, William, and a daughter, Madelyn.
