Notre Dame coach Kevin Corrigan would like nothing more than to guide his team to the school’s first national championship by defeating Duke on Monday.

In doing so, however, Corrigan might be toeing the line between title-winning coach and family black sheep.

You see, Corrigan’s father Gene played lacrosse for the Blue Devils. Kevin Corrigan’s uncle and Gene Corrigan’s brother, James H. Corrigan, graduated from Duke. Kevin Corrigan’s brother Eugene "Boo" Corrigan is the university’s senior associate athletic director for external affairs.

So you can imagine that Corrigan might have some conflicted feelings. Not so, according to the Fighting Irish coach.

"All of them, I took them off of speed dial for this week, and I’m not talking to any of them," he said jokingly. (I think.)
