Butler’s Chris Holtmann has been linked to the search for a new head basketball coach at Pittsburgh.
Holtmann was reportedly one of the names submitted to a search firm that is helping Pittsburgh identify candidates. He was linked to the Tennessee search a year ago, but nothing came of that and Holtmann said he was never contacted by anyone there.
“I don’t ever comment about job status,” the Butler coach said in a text message. “Happy and grateful to be at Butler.”
The list of Pittsburgh’s possible candidates is long. On the other hand, Sean and Archie Miller and former Pittsburgh coach Ben Howland are already out of the mix, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s website.
