Thad Matta, Indiana’s associate Athletic Director for Men’s Basketball Administration, has been hired by Butler as the Bulldogs’ new head men’s basketball coach.
“Butler is a special place, one that Barb, Ali, Emily and I each chose as our school,” Matta said in a press release. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to return to Butler and lead our men’s basketball program. There is a solid foundation in place and I’m confident that Butler will consistently be among the top programs in the BIG EAST. I can’t wait to attack the work we have in front of us and to be back on the sidelines at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
