The Butler Way: The Best of Butler Basketball - David Woods

nThe Butler Way opens with a discussion of the Butler Way. Barry Collier, a former Butler player, was hired as coach in 1989 and slowly rebuilt a program that has declined since the days of Tony Hinkle. Collier emphasized the Butler way which featured team play. The whole of Collier's teams was always greater than the sum of the parts, and that tradition was extended to the coaches that followed. Thad Matta, Todd Lickliter and Brad Stevens have all taken teams to the NCAA Tournament.n nFans will also be pleased to read about the famed Hinkle Fieldhouse, the greatest coaches, teams, players and great moments in the storied history of Butler basketball. The book is peppered with quotes and photos, stats and more.n
