Notre Dame is finalizing a deal to make Penn State's Micah Shrewsberry the school's next men's basketball head coach, sources told ESPN on Wednesday.

Shrewsberry will sign a seven-year contract with the Fighting Irish, sources told ESPN. He turned down a lucrative long-term contract extension from Penn State, sources said, with the pull of going back home being a factor in his decision.

This season, Shrewsberry helped lead the Nittany Lions to the program's first NCAA tournament appearance since 2011. They won five of their last six regular-season games before making a run to the Big Ten tournament championship game, where they lost to Purdue. Penn State received a 10-seed in the NCAA tournament, but upset 7-seed Texas A&M in the first round before falling to 2-seed Texas in the second round.
