Butch has never been in trouble with the NCAA. And at Cincy his teams finished first academically in the Big East every year. It sounds like this years team also had a very good year academically which is a huge breath of fresh air.
He is just one of those rare guys who has a combination of a relentless work ethic and charisma and that is why he is so good in recruiting.
Good post.
There are always good clues about the character and abilities of a coach when they take a new job. Is the school administration that previously employed him truly sorry to lose him? Is the fan base in general sorry or upset he is leaving? Does the roster speak well of him in general? What is the local and national media's reaction? Are there other major programs interested in hiring him?
Butch passed all of that with flying colors at both CMU and Cincy. If there had been serious issues with the AA or anything else in his past it would have been out there.
