It's no secret Butler basketball has had the quite a run of success over the last 20 years or so especially when you think about its status as a mid-major program for the bulk of that time (Butler moved to the Big East in 2013).
The hoops program, despite unintentionally operating as a feeder to larger schools, has relied on locating up-and-coming head coaches and combining that young leadership talent with a philosophy known as The Butler Way.
First introduced by legendary coach and administrator, Tony Hinkle, then revived and modified by then-hoops coach Barry Collier, The Butler Way is really a set of principles to apply on and off the court in search of greatness.
