"To The Butler Community:
Last Saturday we had an opportunity to showcase Butler University and Butler basketball to a national television audience. The environment at Hinkle Fieldhouse for the match-up of two “Top 25” teams was electric and the enthusiasm of the fans when the teams took the floor was breathtaking. Both teams played a very competitive game, and the effort of the players reflected positively on both institutions. Unfortunately, the actions by a few fans late in the game were less than positive. Throwing objects on the floor and yelling profanities is simply unacceptable. Those actions reflect poorly on our team, our athletic program and the university as a whole. Our team strives to represent Butler University in the best possible way, and our fans always have done the same. We want to hear you cheering, and we’re inspired by your support. But it’s important to do it in a first class manner that reflects positively on your team, on your school and on yourself. We have something special here. Let’s show that the Butler Way is more than a phrase with our actions. Please come out and pack Hinkle again this week and cheer for the Bulldogs in our final two regular season games against Wright State and Detroit.
Brad Stevens
Head Coach"
