UB for two seasons and transitioned UB from the New
England Collegiate Conference to the New York Collegiate

selection (37th pick overall of the New York Knicks)
in the 1988 NBA Draft, played from 1988-1990 with the
New York Knicks and from 1990-1991 with the Los Angeles
Clippers. He has played professionally domestically
and internationally from 1988 until 2000, and has most
recently coached at the AAU level and as a personal
clinician.

at the University," said DiPuma. "Coach Butler will
add a great new dimension with his experience, dedication,
and passion for the game."
