I don't understand the talk about PBS. I'm sure he has a bright future in front of him. And that culturally he could be a great fit for us. And that's not a small thing.
But what have we seen from him so far? Not much. If we hired him we would still be onboarding a coach on the learning curve. Let him make the mistakes he has to make in Milwaukee. Let him learn. And, most of all, let him show he can build a competitive team. Which, so far, he hasn't.
If we needed a coach immediately, different story. Look no further than Milwaukee losing the coach PBS replaced: Lavall Jordan. Butler needed a coach, they gambled on a good cultural fit with a former alum. He was a 11-24 (4-14) at Milwaukee, but had only one season there.
