It’s official: the Butler Bulldogs have fired their basketball coach

The move comes after a disappointing season in which the team failed to make the NCAA tournament

What went wrong? And what does this mean for the future of Butler basketball? We break it all down in this blog post.

Why the Butler basketball coach was fired

The Butler basketball coach was fired for a number of reasons, including his poor record and the team’s poor performance.

The search for a new coach

The firing of Butler basketball coach Chris Holtmann came as a surprise to many, but the search for a new coach is already underway.

Butler has set its sights on former Indiana coach Tom Crean, according to sources. Crean is currently the Head Coach at Georgia, but he has a strong connection to Butler. He coached the Bulldogs from 2008 to 2017, leading them to four NCAA Tournament appearances.

The search for a new coach is expected to be a quick one, with Butler hoping to have a new coach in place before the start of the 18-19 season

The reaction from the team

The team was very surprised by the sudden firing of their basketball coach They thought that he had been doing a good job and that the team was improving.

The effect on recruiting

The firing of a head basketball coach can have many implications for a university, especially when it comes to recruiting. Butler University saw this firsthand when they parted ways with LaVall Jordan in March of 2020.

In the short term, the school will likely see a dip in interest from recruits. This is because Butler is no longer an attractive destination for top recruits as they do not have a head coach in place. While the school will still be able to recruit some players, they will not be able to compete for the very best players in the country.

In the long term, however, Butler could see an increase in recruiting if they are able to hire a successful Head Coach A successful coach could help the school rebuild its reputation and attract more talented recruits.

Overall, the firing of a head basketball coach can have both positive and negative implications for a university.
