INDIANAPOLIS – When Butler athletic director Barry Collier hires a coach, you assume he gets it right because he always gets it right. But still we need to see it, you know? Some kid named Brad Stevens will work out because Barry says he’ll work out, but we need to see it. Same for an assistant named, hmm … Chris Holtmann. Barry likes him? OK, we like him too. But we need to see it.
In June, Barry Collier hired beloved former player LaVall Jordan. Sounds good, but … you know. We need to see it.
We just saw it.
