Butler head basketball coach Brandon Miller has taken an indefinite medical leave of absence, the school announced Thursday.
“Brandon Miller has requested a leave of absence for medical reasons, which the University has granted,” Butler athletic director Barry Collier said in a statement. “We are not in a position to further elaborate and we ask that everyone respect Brandon’s privacy.”
Miller, 35, took over the program last summer when former head coach Brad Stevens left to take the same job with the Boston Celtics. Miller led the Bulldogs to a 14-17 record in his first season behind the bench.
Assistant coach Chris Holtmann will take over head-coaching duties on an interim basis in Miller’s absence.
Butler begins its regular season Nov. 5 against Maine.
