Chris Holtmann is the driving force behind Butler

Since the formation of the school’s basketball program in (###), the Butler Bulldogs have had (###) different head coaches.

Of those (###) coaches, exactly one has had previous NCAA coaching experience before taking the helm at Butler.

That’s right. It’s Chris Holtmann.

Prior to coming to Butler as an assistant (more on that shortly), Holtmann played his college basketball at Taylor University. If you don’t know Taylor University by name, surely you know them from having one of the coolest traditions in all of college athletics.

After his playing days wrapped up, Holtmann became an assistant coach at Pennsylvania’s Geneva College for a couple years before returning to Taylor as an assistant.
