Thad

All the sudden it’s a priority to have a league-level frontcourt. Seems fun.

Ohio state left butler a big steaming pile when thad left them and they stole holtmann/staff at an awful time. Now many buckeye fans are jealous. Ball don’t lie or something.

@ButlerWay it’s incredible. Embarrassing really. On so many levels. Both the content and delivery were so JV. At best, it’s really bad optics. And makes you realize how beyond lucky they are to get/have thad right now

“I don’t believe an inflated budget could have attracted better players to this university.” This quote still boggles my mind a day later. Yes, I strongly believe Butler can compete with their budget. But to insist a larger budget wouldn't help?! Nobody believes that, right?

Been off the radar all day and just watched today’s introduction. My jaw dropped at danko’s targeted, defensive rambling about budget. Then I listened to the main event and now ready to run through a brick wall with Thad.

fwiw, I may have been recently told thad doesn’t want to be AD down the road

You knew there was a plan. You just didn’t know it was best case scenario, all things considered. Thad brings program back, grooms next coach, moves upstairs when Barry retires. LFG.

@joelwhyrock brilliant, might need an update. Cheers.

@ButlerVictory For your new profile picture.

Simas and Jaden prolly wanna think about sticking around 🤷🏻‍♂️

at least, you *should* have known there was a plan. That’s all a part of the insulated operation. And here we are.

Today. Today is a new day friends. Holy shit.

I never thought ron nored would want to leave the nba track. And ultimately the inexperience as a HC and recruiting isn’t ideal now imo. But if butler continues to stay inbred, he’d be the guy to take a chance on. It’d be hard to not be excited about his ceiling at BU.

Still can’t really operate like a normal HM program. And once again, ultimately saving money highest priority.

Butler’s last game was 22 DAYS AGO, but Collier waited until today because the buyout dropped SIGNIFICANTLY. All he did here by waiting this long was hurt the chances of Lavall and more importantly, the assistants, getting other jobs. This is really sad on part of Collier.

I mean…whoa.

@mwalters05 I personally don’t think it’s likely but I also wouldn’t say out of the question

@ButlerVictory He will never fire him. Contract has 1 more year.

Barry Collier is now in a position he never has been before. This going to be…interesting.

@BlairDMckee with all due respect, you can’t watch butler and tell me the talent is there. It’s just not. That’s the biggest part of the problem. Which ultimately falls on the HC.

@ButlerVictory One of the most frustrating and disappointing seasons of any team I have ever followed in any sport. It would be one thing if they didn’t have talent, or weren’t good kids, or were just blown out. These failures to close, blown leads, poor execution down the stretch just IRK me

Damn. Brutal loss to end a brutal season.

Simas straight up hooping. Mercy.
