INDIANAPOLIS –
Five weeks ago, after back-to-back home losses, Butler coach Chris Holtmann made a blunt plea for more leaders on the team.
So what happened in the aftermath of Saturday’s 70-64 senior day loss to Seton Hall? The players spoke among themselves about why it should not have happened. Coach, we’re leaving you out of this.
Which means Holtmann’s message has ultimately had the desired effect.
“The best teams, in a lot of ways, you’re taking a step back as a coach,” he said.
