Butler's secret? "Moneyball"-esque stat guru who's a Duke grad

Interesting story. Apparently Butler hired a Duke grad to do stats for the team. Coach Stevens is apparently a big believer in numbers and the power of stats (in addition to what he sees and traditional coaching approaches).
Coach Stevens says it's only a matter of time before this concept spreads to many other teams. Maybe it will even become the norm.
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
