Butler women’s head basketball coach Kurt Godlevske stroked his beard and sat up from his reclining chair. He placed his left hand on his desk, between his laptop and a crumpled piece of paper. He started talking about leadership.

“To be honest, I think we’re just starting to get into that,” Godlevke said.

Godlevske is still on the search for his fire, grit, rock and fortitude, the names given to last year’s seniors — Whitney Jennings, Michelle Weaver, Tori Schickel and Taylor Buford — on this season’s women’s basketball team.
