He finally got his big break in 2007 when he was brought back to Butler under current Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens. He spent the next ten years there under Stevens, Brandon Miller, and Chris Holtmann. At Butler, he was the defensive coordinator, but he was involved with every aspect of the program.
