Overview
- Butler announced the hire Wednesday and said Nored will be introduced Friday at a public press conference at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
- Nored replaces Thad Matta, who retired last week and will remain at Butler as a special assistant to the president and athletic director.
- A 2012 Butler graduate, Nored started at point guard on the 2010 and 2011 teams that reached the national title game under Brad Stevens.
- Nored spent the past three seasons as an Atlanta Hawks assistant after roles with the Pacers, Hornets and Celtics, and he led the G League’s Long Island Nets from 2016 to 2018.
- Butler finished 16-16 this season and has not made the NCAA Tournament since 2018, and one CBS Sports report said the program expects at least $9 million in revenue sharing and NIL resources next season, which could shape recruiting.
