That background gives Butler a coach with both deep program roots and high-level professional experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2371\" data-end=\"2655\">As a player, Nored was a two-time <strong data-start=\"2405\" data-end=\"2452\">Horizon League Defensive Player of the Year<\/strong> and helped Butler reach the NCAA title games in <strong data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2509\">2010<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2514\" data-end=\"2522\">2011<\/strong>.
