Brad Stevens at Butler

33 years old: 89-14 in 3 years at Butler.
Academics was his strong suit at Div III Depauw where he played pt guard. No superstar as a player.

I have to like a guy that is a statistical machine when breaking down opponents.
I never understood why analytical coaching didn't get more play in the media, especially considering the fact that the defense end of the court is all about stopping a team from finding the comfort zone.

If they stay out of foul it could be an interesting game.

I side with the President that approved hiring a 25yr old AD.
