    Why? If he already left Butler for Evansville, he was gone anyways but I may not fully understand the background.

    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Just go read the comments on their board.

    I read this past week on a job site that X was in need of an admin. position for Coach Steele to organize everything for Coach Steele and the basketball team. This is different.
    This new coach, I don't know if X was a coach short last year or if this is a new position. My gut tells me we were short a coach last year. Good to have Indiana recruiting even stronger with this new coach and Steele oiling the pipeline.

    This is not an active recruiting position. Yes he might have contacts, but you are only allowed 3 recruiting assistants. This is likely game prep and team operations.

    He is filling Jeremy Growe's vacated position. Kinda wild that he would leave an assistant position at Evansville for this quasi assistant role, but Travis has a track record of being very persuasive

    Looks like they're just mad they didn't hire him themselves. Not like this is the first time we've hired a butler guy. He was their assistant and associate head coach during the Brad Stevens years and those runner-up teams. seems like a good guy to have on our staff

    I'm pretty sure X pays better than Eville, or Butler, for that matter. But going from head coach to coaching assistant is quite a drop in 2 years. The Xavier Way is sort of the Butler Way, with a lot bigger pile of money.
