What a surprise…Who would’ve ever knew that Butler University would be in the national championship. I have played basketball for many years and have watch basketball for many years. I have never witness a mid major college in the men’s national championship.
What makes Butler University different? They have a coach that has never played basketball, who was just a volunteer team manager about 6 years ago and one who never had any coaching experience prior to Butler. A lot of can learn from Coach Brad Stevens.
You can’t set back and wait for opportunities to become available for you, there are times when you just have to create the opportunity yourself. For him to put himself in a situation as team manager, when he had no prior experience said a lot about him. Then a couple years later now head coach of Butler and a chance of winning a national title is a great accomplish.
I guess we can sum it up like this “The Butler Way”, demands commitment, denies selfishness, accepts reality yet seeks improvement everyday while putting the team above self.
