ZIONSVILLE – It's not uncommon to see coaches detach from their previous jobs when they move on, especially if they're moving up the ladder. But four years removed from his wildly successful six-year tenure at Butler University, Brad Stevens still bleeds Butler blue.

It only took him eight minutes to say as much during his keynote presentation at the Boys & Girls Club of Zionsville Be Great Breakfast with Brad Stevens on Saturday morning.

"Butler is by far (my family's) favorite team, and I heard earlier (when I was introduced) that I was born and raised a Hoosier; I was born a Hoosier, but I was raised a Bulldog," Stevens said to a crowd of about 200 donors, staff and children assembled at the club's basketball court.
