Butler’s Thad Matta is retiring from coaching after more than 20 years of leading Division I programs, he announced Monday.
Matta, who will remain with the school as special assistant to the president and athletic director, just finished the fourth season of his second stint as the Bulldogs’ head coach.
“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 said in a statement. “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.
