Dickie V Preseason Top 40: 21-30--ESPN
23. Butler: Brad Stevens lost Matt Howard and Shelvin Mack but will work his mid-major magic. Look for Khyle Marshall to step up and lead the Bulldogs.
Next coaching generation: Reason to fret?--ESPN
During last week's EYBL Peach Jam, ESPN.com surveyed 15 coaches on a wide variety of topics, including this simple question:
Do you trust the next generation of coaches to care for the future of college basketball?
Plenty did. Eight of the 15 said they had full faith in the next generation, with three more straddling the fence.
“Sean Miller, Brad Stevens, they’re such good men, so I do trust them,’’ said Louisville coach Rick Pitino, echoing the sentiments of many. “They’re so smart and so focused and they really do care, so I think we’re in very good hands.’’
...
This Final Four showcased two of the brightest young coaches in the game -- a pair of 34-year-olds, Brad Stevens and Shaka Smart -- coaches who did come up from their bootstraps, who boost even the doubters’ sagging hopes.
“My worry is that the game is tilting to the very young and you need experience and you need beacons of light,’’ said 56-year-old Phil Martelli of St. Joseph's. “Having said that, I think every administration right now is endeavoring to find the next Brad Stevens and he is a beacon of light. If we have guys like him, we’re in great shape.’’

Morning Five: 07.22.11 Edition--Rush The Court
Excellent and difficult question by CBS Sports’ Jeff Goodman: on the list of college basketball’s great accomplishments, where does Butler making consecutive title games rank? Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Boeheim both had pretty high praise, as you’d expect. We’re not going to tell you where Mr. Goodman listed it, so you’ll have click on the above link to find that out, but one thing we’re wondering is…what about next season? If Butler doesn’t have another great Tournament run (Bulldog fans, we’re not saying it won’t happen, this is a hypothetical), you know there will be people who will say that Brad Stevens should have cashed in and switched jobs when the gettin’ was good. If you hear such things, after you’ve rolled your eyes, please do it again on our behalf.
