Biography:
Coach Matt Clement began his career as the head coach of Butler basketball during the 2009-2010 school year. After a 16 year baseball career, Coach Clement returned to fulfill his life-long dream of coaching Butler basketball. Up tempo, fast breaking and "hard nose" defense are trademarks of Clement's teams.
Coach Clement was born and raised in Butler and graduated from Butler High in 1993. He was a standout point guard on a section 3 championship team in 1992 and the 1993 WPIAL runner-up team. During the 1993 season, Matt was selected as all WPIAL Quad-A first team, member of the Roundball Classic team and Post-Gazette North Fab-Five all star team. Clement was recruited by several Division I schools to play college basketball. That dream was interrupted by a 16 year baseball career, highlighted by a 2005 All-Star Game appearance and member of the 2007 World Championship Boston Redsox team.
Coach Clement continues to reside in Butler with his wife, Heather (Miller) and his 3 sons, Mattix, Madden and Mavrik and daughter Mallie.
