I like Rothstein, but he is the ultimate pre-season dreamer.

On the surface that is a big loss for the Big East.

Butler has been like Xavier in terms of producing really good coaches who move on to bigger jobs, Stevens, Lickliter and Matta.

For the sake of the new BE I hope their luck continues.

it's time for Butler to step up now with a high profile hire.

They were good before Stevens thought not as good. Just ask John Minko.

No offense but questioning their hiring principles might be a bit much. They do have 3 solid hires in a row. Multiple 25 win seasons and oh I don't know. 2 final fours?

“@jeffborzello: Butler's perennial success won't disappear with the departure of Brad Stevens. My take: http://cbsprt.co/1aDKMrt

The only thing I would say about previous success is they are not in the Horizon League or the A-10 anymore.

Now I love Brad Stevens and to me he would win in any conference but Butler is stepping up in class or at least we hope they are and Brad Stevens' and Thad Matta's don't grow on trees.

Put it to you another way let's assume Butler was joining the Big 10 and not the new BE.  And they are going up against Matta, Izzo, Beilein, Ryan, etc. and Stevens is leaving.  They could say "Hey we know how to do it we did it before" or they could say "Our previous hires were in the context of the Horizon NOT the Big 10.  We may have to think bigger."

I agree, they deserve the benefit of the doubt.  But, to be fair the Lichleter hire doesn't look as spectacular as it did when he first moved up to the Big 10.   He was below .500 all 3 seasons at Iowa.

But Matta and Stevens were home runs, no doubt.

It probably was not in the budget for them to do that in the past, Choz.  Now, it very well could be.
