It was not long after the Clemson women’s basketball program wrapped up its best season in nearly two decades before other schools started calling about Amanda Butler.
In fact, it was two schools, including one in the SEC, that wanted Butler to interview for their head coaching vacancies.
What Butler did at Clemson this past season was nothing short of miraculous. In her first year, Butler led the Lady Tigers to their best season in nearly two decades, including their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2002 and first 20-win season since 2001.
The Tigers advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
