CHARLOTTE — Amanda Butler did something at Clemson that has not been done in a long time … she brought winning back to the women’s basketball program.
In her first season in Tigertown, Butler led the Lady Tigers to a 20-13 record, including a 9-7 record in the ACC. She also took Clemson back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 17 years and led the program to its first tournament win since 2001.
However, Butler said she did not do it alone. She told The Clemson Insider on Monday from the York County and Charlotte Clemson Clubs’ Prowl & Growl event that the 14 ladies she coached were the ones who got the job done this season and laid the foundation for future Tigers to come.
