Senior forward Tyler Wideman has plenty to coach Butler's many young players. Scott Horner/Wochit
ST. JOHN – Brad Stevens recruited him.
Brandon Miller signed him.
Chris Holtmann coached him.
LaVall Jordan inherited him.
Through all of Butler’s basketball's coaching changes, Tyler Wideman has stood as tall and immovable as a sequoia. He was a Butler player before arriving at Butler.
His high school coach, Lake Central’s Dave Milausnic, said Wideman had intangibles. Students and teachers embraced him. So did lunchroom workers, janitors, secretaries. He cared about his teammates, and about winning.
