They’ve gone back to that well, hiring their own, for decades. From coaches Thad Matta to Todd Lickliter to Brad Stevens, Chris Holtmann and Jordan. Most have panned out. Brandon Miller and Jordan did not. Some might push for them to truly have a national search and hire the best available.

They’re opening up a national search and if athletic director Barry Collier wants to keep it in the Butler family, as they tend to do, Pacers assistant coach (and Butler alum) Ronald Nored makes a lot of sense.
