Butler on joining SEC Network: “I’m excited to join an amazing group of people who I respect tremendously. It’s an honor and privilege to play a role in promoting the game on such an incredible platform as the SEC Network. SEC Women’s Basketball never disappoints. As a competitor, fan, coach or analyst, this is the league that you want to be in to experience basketball at its best. I can’t wait to really get started and see where the games take us.â€
ESPN Coordinating Producer Pat Lowry on Butler: “I’ve always kept my eye on her since we are both from Mt. Juliet, Tenn. As someone who played and coached for the University of Florida, we would frequently cover and interview her. I would always walk away very impressed with her ability to break down and provide good analysis. With her SEC roots and knowing the league so well from coaching in it, I think she is going to bring us some unique insight.â€
