Michael Lewis was comfortable at Butler. Too comfortable, he decided.
Nebraska made it official by announcing Lewis as its newest assistant basketball coach. Although he acknowledged he would get a pay raise, he said leaving Butler is more about new challenge, career growth and return to the Big Ten.
“How that plays out, none of us can see in the future,” Lewis said Tuesday night. “My gut was telling me that this was a move that could help me long-term.”
Lewis, 38, was an assistant coach at Butler for five seasons, serving under Brad Stevens, Brandon Miller and Chris Holtmann.
