Third roster overhaul in 5 years, no culture, coaches don’t care, and in the last home game of the season the entire arena booed him. Danko and Leindecker just killed the entire program to save $4 million dollars so they can have the 7th highest budget instead of 10th.
Butler coach Thad Matta will be back next season, athletic director Grant Leiendecker told @TheFieldOf68.
There was some speculation about retirement.
"We are fully committed and aligned on how we will reach expectations for the program going forward," Leiendecker said.
Matta is 63-69 and 39-55 in the Big East in four seasons. The Bulldogs were 16-16 and 7-13 in league play this season.
Did Thad need more cash when we lost to Boise by 9 and Georgetown by 13 both on our home court? This story getting this much press is maddening and going to bail out an underachieving staff another year.

I’d much rather rather go 14-17 and 6-14 in BE play with a $6-8 million dollar roster and a new coach then the inevitable 18-13 and 8-12 in BE play with a $7.5-9 million dollar roster with Thad and this current staff next year #Butler#BeGreat#ThursdayBars#Golf
@ButlerMBB@ButlerAthletics we’ll never have this because you hitched your wagon to someone who shows ZERO school spirit and cares more about his players liking him than actually being their coach.
Chris Holtmann saying “Who’s gonna grab my credit card?” at the end is AWESOME 🤣
DePaul just posted its first three-game home winning streak in almost 20 years 👀

Wearing my Notre dame football shirt and Georgetown hat at the iron jungle, there’s a solid chance I look like the most insufferable person in the whole world rn #irishcatholic#catholicguilt
Lost by 10 in a game where you begged fans to come, and you were a 6 point favorite. Ran the same set every time when it clearly didn’t work. Out coached and out hustled. You are not even a sneaky little retard Thad, you are fully retarded @ButlerMBB@G_Leiendecker22
