I pride myself in being a college basketball fan first..then a UK basketball fan. Meaning..I can be objective about my Cats..yet cheer along the way. Butler basketball has been a familar name for me..however, I must admit that I was not familar with any of the players or even their coaches name. That all changed onced I watched their first game in the NCAA tourney this year. I have to admit..I was one of the millions who immediately feel in love with this team..due to their heart, spirit and youthful, talented coach. Brad Stevens is a major name in the college ranks now. Its unheard of for a 33 year-old coach to lead their team to a championship game..one shot was making crazy history. The more I watched them..and listened to Brad during interviews..whats not to like about the program. I got to watch Coach Stevens on the Dave Letterman show. What a great person. Butler is no longer a secret. They return enough players that should get them ranked in the top 10 for the 2010-11 season. This is the new "feel good" thing in college hoops.

Peace out my HALEYUNNS!
He is a great coach and seems to be a terrific person. He represents what all coaches should strive to become. He will go far during his coaching tenure!
