Caron Butler on Bam Adebayo: 'It's a crime that he hasn't won Defensive Player of the Year'
Heat assistant coach Butler feels like it's a crime that Adebayo hasn't won the award yet. The assistant coach praised the big man for the solid defense he provides for his team. He recognized that opposing players have a difficult time going up against Bam and tend to use up more energy to get past him. “When you talk about versatility, when you talk about two-way defender, I mean it's a crime that [Bam Adebayo] hasn't won Defensive Player of the Year,” Butler said on SiriusXM NBA Radio.
Bisaccio, 34, spent last season as a Heat player development coach and has spent the past three weeks as the Heat’s summer league head coach. “I’ve been a part of a variety of different coaches and different summer leagues — Dan Craig, Juwan Howard, Chris Quinn, Malik Allen and most recently Caron Butler,” said Bisaccio, who was also recently named the head coach of the Heat’s G League affiliate. “All of these guys, I’ve had the opportunity to learn and grow from and really see how they handle their day to day. “They’re tasking me with being able to give a lot of these players their first introduction to the Miami Heat organization, the Miami Heat culture and that’s something I do not take lightly. I’m honored every day to be able to have this opportunity.”

Dwyane Wade of course won three championships with the franchise over the course of his Hall of Fame career, but recently, he stopped by good friend Carmel0 Anthony’s 7PM In Brooklyn podcast to break down why the most enjoyable season of his career was actually the first. “My rookie year, there wasn’t any expectations,” said Wade, via 7pm In Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony on YouTube. “We were just hooping, we were terrible. We started 0 – 7, we were terrible. So roll the ball out, let’s just go have fun, right. You’re making a name for yourself, you’re living your dream out for the first time, the road trips are new, going to these hotels was exciting. The first year for me was the funnest year I played in the NBA, then I got Shaq in my second year and it became business. Quickly, you got to win now, it changed everything for me. I didn’t get five years to be a young guy, I had to get right to it, right away. So my first year when it was Lamar Odom, Caron Butler, Brian Grant, Eddie Jones, and we made a run and being in the playoffs and all that, we were just out here having fun.”
McCollum was one of five finalists for the award, along with Miami Heat assistant coach Caron Butler, Washington Wizards forward Anthony Gill, Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving and Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. The finalists were chosen by a committee of PBWA members from nominees submitted by NBA teams. The winner was determined by a vote of the entire PBWA, which is composed of more than 200 writers and editors who cover the NBA regularly for newspapers, magazines and online news outlets.
The latest example is the Skyforce’s addition of CJ Butler, son of Heat assistant coach and and former Heat forward Caron Butler. CJ Butler, a 6-foot-5 guard, went undrafted out of UC Irvine last June and then attended training camp with the Skyforce. He appeared in 117 games, making 42 starts, at UC Irvine and averaged 4.0 points on .467 percent shooting, 1.8 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.5 steals in 14.4 minutes a game from 2018 to 2023.

When Caron Butler’s NBA playing career came to an end in 2016, he didn’t necessarily envision himself returning to the league as a coach. As a father of five and businessman with plenty to keep him busy in retirement, Butler had enough going on. But Butler’s thinking changed somewhere along the way, as he just completed his third season as a Heat assistant coach on Erik Spoelstra’s staff and served as the Heat summer league head coach for the first time this year.
