butler basketball coach


Mike Helmer, the coach who led the Wichita South girls to two 6A state tournaments in the past three years, has been named the new head women’s basketball coach at Butler Community College. [1]

Butler Director of Athletics Barry Collier began and ended his search for a new head basketball coach in a familiar place — the Butler basketball office. [2]

And the 31-year-old Butler coach became the third-youngest Division I coach to guide his team to 30 wins - the youngest in more than half a century! [3]

In April, Stevens was named basketball coach at Butler University, replacing his former boss, Todd Lickliter, who left to replace Steve Alford at Iowa. [4]

Amanda Butler (born March 6, 1972) is an American basketball player and coach, and is currently the head women’s basketball coach at the University of Florida. [5]








Only six years ago, Brad Stevens had a 9-to-5 desk job, creating an incentive program for salespeople at an Indianapolis pharmaceutical company. [...] Stevens worked the past six seasons at Butler, learning the system that made the Bulldogs one of the most successful mid-major programs in the country during the past two decades. [4]

Since Lickliter left for the head coaching job at Iowa, there has been no drop off with young coach Brad Stevens. [...] The Butler Bulldogs basketball program is unique. [6]

Butler, 35, possesses 12 years of college coaching experience, including two as the head coach of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. [7]

Call Brad Stevens a quick learner. [3]

She was named Atlantic 10 Conference Coach of the Year after 20 wins and a share of the regular season championship in her first year as coach. [5]

In just seven years, he went from a promising business career to one of the most successful head coaching starts in the history of the NCAA Division I! [...] The Bulldogs captured the Great Alaska Shootout, won a second consecutive Wooden Tradition trophy, and wrapped up Horizon League regular season and tournament championships. [...] Stevens was introduced as the new men’s basketball head coach at Butler University on April 4, 2007, just three days after his former boss, Todd Lickliter, was named head coach at the University of Iowa.
