Men's Basketball Hires Buzzy Caruthers as Assistant Coach

Ball State head basketball coach Michael Lewis has announced the hiring of Bertram "Buzzy" Caruthers to complete the Cardinals' coaching staff in advance of the 2024-25 season.

"We are really excited to add someone like Buzzy," said Lewis, "who has extensive experience in both player development and recruiting that will continue to push us to the championship level."

Caruthers helped Missouri State to 34 wins over the last two seasons, including 19 of them at home which helped extend the program's 54-year streak of consecutive winning seasons in its home arena. Caruthers accepted a new position at Texas Rio Grande Valley in May, before landing this position with Lewis and Ball State.
