You want to instantly be tougher? Keep your mouth closed when being coached. Be able to take correction without needing to talk back or give excuses & change your body language. You must work at it. This is a mental toughness skill & it takes deliberate practice daily.

I’m extremely proud of how

represented Butler. We understand Covid_19 is a health crisis & bigger than sports. We are especially heartbroken for our 4 seniors who cherished every opportunity this year. This group fought w/their heart & soul for each other!

God has blessed me with some amazing gifts in my daughters. Super proud of my Ava Simone & the young woman she’s becoming! She has grown so much & constantly impresses me. Excited to see what’s in store for her next & what her next chapter brings!

Wisconsin assistant Howard Moore has been a great friend and mentor to me. Many prayers go up for him & his family during this devastating time. Absolutely heartbreaking news. Please pray 🙏🏾
Tragically sad news. Praying for Kobe’s wife, children, & families of the other passengers. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Hug the people you love everyday. If you can’t hug them call them & tell them you love them. 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Thanks to all of the Butler faithful that made it to Bankers Life today! We could hear you loud & clear!

Protesting because of a loss & protesting for lives lost unjustly are different. Unfortunately, the response to those two are different. Power & control shouldn’t be more important than equality & justice. The first toward deliverance is confession. Pray for our country! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

No day in Hinkle Fieldhouse is as big as today!
Proud of these 2 men! They’ve represented themselves, their families & our Butler Family the right way. They walk out of Hinkle one last time, this time w/diplomas in their hands.

Thoughts & prayers from our Butler Basketball family go out to all involved in the shooting at Noblesville West Middle School. 🙏🏾 for the victims, the families and for the entire Noblesville community during this time.
As the 10th anniversary approaches, we also have members of the 2010 Final Four team in the (Field)House today. They are joined by the late great Andrew Smith's parents.

So sad to hear about Darius Morris. My 1st year at UofM in 2010-11, D Mo & I spent so much time talking faith, ball & life. Still have the gift he gave me re: proud ppl vs humble ppl. Proud of what he did to help change that program. Praying for the Morris family.
