Rutgers softball: Kristen Butler has Scarlet Knights on the rise

[Tango Two]

When she took the job, Kristen Butler expected it might take a while.

The new Rutgers softball coach inherited a team coming off three losing seasons during which it was a combined 44 games under .500. Butler had done rebuilds before – her work turning around Toledo’s program is what brought her here – and she was ready to begin another one.

I think Kristen is doing an excellent job. The team is just so much better than our last few years. The future looks bright.

Winning games is the biggest motivation any player/team can have. They certainly didn't fare well earlier in the season, especially against the top teams in the BIG, but they look like the schedule gives them a very good chance to finish even stronger than they are right now. And then...anything can happen.

Looks like the right hire

Butler has done this with none of her own recruits but with players she inherited. COACHING!
