In this episode of House of Hammers, host Aaron Babicz ’93 welcomes Mike McAndrews — Director of Admissions at Cardinal Mooney and longtime head boys basketball coach with more than 300 career wins.

A proud Cardinal Mooney alumnus and former three-sport athlete, Coach McAndrews reflects on a lifetime dedicated to building young men through faith, discipline, and competition. From his days as a four-year college basketball player at Concordia University Chicago to leading Mooney’s basketball program, he shares what it takes to sustain excellence over decades.

The conversation explores the deeper purpose behind coaching and leadership — why relationships matter more than records, how faith shapes culture, and why the greatest victories come in the lives of the students and athletes you serve.
