After a very quick search Butler named 6-year assistant Brad Stevens as their new head basketball coach. Stevens replaces Todd Lickliter who was hired by Iowa to replace Hoosier legend Steve Alford (no IU fans, he’s still not going to coach IU).

The 30 year old Stevens takes over a team that has been to the Sweet Sixteen twice int eh last five years, went 131-61 under Lickliter and returns 5 of the top 6 scorers from this year’s team. Not a bad situation for a young coach to be stepping into. Stevens is part of the Butler coaching pedigree that has made the Bulldogs one of the top mid-major programs in the country.

But could the dude look any younger? He looks like he just got out of tryouts for the high school JV team since he’ll be a freshman next year.

Best of luck to Coach Stevens. I promise next year I’ll make it to a Butler game like I keep saying I am going to do.
