WOW.....just wow.....that's all. They couldn't find a single person w/ D1 Women's Experience. That's an obnoxious hire

That's an obnoxious hire They’ve been searching for a month and missed most big tournaments for recruiting. Im sure not a lot of people went out of their way to apply for Butler. Kyle came recommended by people. He didn’t go and seek the job out, Butler approached him. Kyle is going to do some good things. He’s a good recruiter and has a great support system to help him along the way. Being from the Indianapolis area, it’s a good hire for Butler. They need someone like Kyle who can recruit and build some excitement around the program.

Also, if you know anything about volleyball and Indiana, and his resume at Indiana Tech (at least from the outside looking in), I’m pretty sure they think they pulled off an incredible hire and probably had him targeted from the get go as someone they were interested in. I’m sure he had some good references. Now personally I don’t know anything about him that I didn’t just read, but having been highly successful as a head college coach, the pedigree he has, the relationships he most likely has, I’m neither surprised at the hire nor will I be surprised if he does very well.

Rumors were swirling there was going to be a Shondell hired at Butler, the only question was which one? The young buck Kyle was the AD’s Barry Collier choice and Butler volleyball will only go up from here. The Shondell name is synonymous with midwest volleyball and it all started with Kyle’s grandfather, the late Dr Don Shondell, who is in the International and AVCA Volleyball Hall of Fame, his uncle Steve, who is in the AVCA Hall of Fame, his dad Dave, 20 year head coach at Purdue and his uncle John, associate head coach at Purdue for 20 years as well. Both Steve and Dave became head coaches at Ball State and Purdue directly out of coaching high school and turned their respective schools programs around overnight. It took Kyle 3 years starting the program at Indiana Tech to be named NAIA National Coach of the Year. Butler volleyball will be in good hands with a Shondell at the helm.

He has success as a head coach and he has strong ties to Indiana volleyball. Any hire in Indiana that has a Shondell name will get attention and create some buzz. This is not a bad hire, IMO Time will tell

WOW.....just wow.....that's all. They couldn't find a single person w/ D1 Women's Experience. That's an obnoxious hire Re-iterating what others have said. - The Shondell name is golden in the state of Indiana for volleyball.
- I don't generally believe in genetics trumps all in the coaching profession, but his father and uncles have all demonstrated the validity of their family's coaching legacy.
- Kyle has demonstrated that legacy all on his own. He would be someone that any AD looking for a young, energetic, and enthusiastic coach would consider seriously.
- This is a conservative hire, they are taking a chance on a fresh face, but they are also counting on the intangibles listed above.
- This hire beats doing the route of hiring an unknown who had no HC experience nor experience in the DI arena. That is a much riskier hire.
- I am not privy to the annual salary or the budgetary commitment that Butler is making to Shondell, I am sure he is satisfied or he would not have taken the job. But, let's face it, this is a mid-major job and the limits on both the salary and the budget would limit the candidate pool to the demographic that Shondell falls under, and this is reasonable choice. History will decide on whether this is a great hire or not.

With only two players on the roster who came to Butler directly from an Indiana high school, I think hiring anyone with a presence in Indiana makes sense for Butler.
With the charges against Clark I think the priority had to be to find a coach who can better retain and motivate their players - which from the sounds of it, that bar was pretty low. But second, it's not hard to imagine that Clark's relationship with her players may have spoiled the Indiana recruiting pool a bit (kids talk), so this hire suggests Butler wanted to reconnect the program to Indiana.
FWIW, he has family connections to two of the larger clubs in Indiana - Boiler Jrs has 44 of The Academy's 160 teams, and then Munciana has dozens more teams, so if nothing else I doubt they'll have trouble filling a camp!
One other thing to look out for - Butler hasn't played some of the instate schools in a while - Notre Dame since 2011, IPFW and IUPUI since 2013 - and Butler hasn't played Purdue since 2005! Hopefully, if nothing else that game can get scheduled soon! Shondell v Shondell!!!

Great way to sum it up, I think the hire makes a ton of sense and I’m not sure why some people are outraged over it.
