I am not even surprised given the strange timing, and Matta has been rumored for months. Congratulations Butler! A clear upgrade for sure.

That's huge. Butler making a real commitment to being successful.

This conference, man...

What was his title last year at Indiana? He was like a mentor to Woodson

For the Big East, they have hired three new head coaches (Matta, Miller and Holloway) with a combined: an NCAAT Runner-Up, a Final Four, Seven Elite Eights, Five Sweet 16s, 25 NCAAT Appearances and an NIT Championship (and that is without Jay Wright's numbers included). The Big East stepped up in a big way with coaching hires this cycle, as each new coach has made an Elite Eight or better. The league just got even harder.

Just looked and was surprised that Matta is only 54 years old. He left Ohio State for health reasons which I assume are no longer an issue?

Congrats Butler guys! I liked Jordan, but this is a bigtime move. What a league!

That is a hell of hire, congrats Butler!
