In <i>Butler Basketball Legends</i>, veteran sports writer Stan Sutton profiles the legacy of the Butler University basketball program and the coaches, players, and fans who give it heart.</p><br/><p>Sutton takes readers behind the scenes to meet Butler's legendary stars and hear their stories, including players like Darnell Archey, Gordon Hayward, Matt Howard, and Mike Green, and unforgettable coaches like Thad Matta and Brad Stevens, and of course, Tony Hinkle. For 41 years Mr. Hinkle was the cornerstone of the athletics department and built a winning basketball program around small guards, short but stout centers, and players other coaches thought inadequate, leading Butler to over 550 victories. From the fabled feats of past teams all the way up to the first season of new head coach LaVall Jordan, <i>Butler Basketball Legends</i> is a must-read for all who love the game.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Stan Sutton is a member of the Indiana Sports Writers and Sportscasters Hall of Fame.
