Head men’s basketball coach Thad Matta is retiring from coaching, the university announced in a press release this morning. Matta will remain with the university as a special assistant to the president and athletic director.
Matta explained his decision in the press release.
“After taking some time to reflect following the end of the season, I have decided that the time has come for me to step away from the sidelines,” Matta stated. “The love my wife, my daughters and I have for Butler is what brought us back four years ago, and it feels especially meaningful that I conclude my coaching career here.
