Butler advances to Monday Night's Championship Game and Will face Kentucky/UCONN

Fun to watch this Butler team over the past two season. Mack is the real deal.

**LWC** · 04-02-2011, 09:37 PM

Going to the championship game two years in a row. Will not be intimidated by UK or UCONN.

**Stardust** · 04-02-2011, 09:38 PM

^ Agreed

You all can say what you want about Cal and his recruiting, but Brad Stevens is without a doubt, THE BEST coach in the entire country. Amazing run by both teams!

I think he is great, but that distinction has to go to Coach K.

^ Stevens has proven to be more than just a recruiter of a team that is not even Mid-Major. He not only has found the right players to fit his system, he coaches his tail off throughout the game and looks like he is as calm and collected as a librarian. For all those that think it takes fire and brimstone and a coach that yells and screams to motivate his players need only to look at this guy and learn something.

Yep. Bryan Station. I've seen him play High school Basketball. Estill was holding a tournament/Classic (82 Food Mart Classic) and at the time Coach Tiller invited Bryan Station, Bullitt Central, Cordia, Madison Southern, Owsley County and Clark County (Girls). Bryan Station played Bullitt Central. and Mack looked good

I watched Mack play a game in Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse three years ago. That is when I decided that Billy Gillispie had no business coaching at Kentucky. Mack is built like a linebacker and looks quicker in person than on TV. I don't think UK or Louisville expressed any interest in him until after he verbally committed to Butler.

Gillispie didn't think Mack was good enough for UK. But Jon Hood, Mark Coury, etc. are? :flush:

He is my favorite coach in the country. When you talk great coaches, his name has to come up.

Brad Stevens is an AWESOME Coach. I Love Watching Butler Play
