In the 1998/99 season he led Hamburg to rise to the basketball league . He also looked after BCJ at the beginning of the 1999/2000 game year, although his relationship with his assistant coach Hans-Dieter Niedlich and with sports director Heiner Zarnack was already disturbed because of differences of opinion and Butler denied the two of them competence.
