Schrage spent the past eight seasons at Stanford alongside fellow former Duke assistant Johnny Dawkins. Prior to his time at Stanford, Schrage was Duke's Director of Basketball Operations from 2002-2008.

Heading to Butler is a homecoming of sorts for Schrage, who graduated from Indiana in 1998. He worked as a student manager under Bob Knight all four seasons.

Schrage has been a high-quality recruiter for Stanford, landing notable names such as Chasson Randle, the program's all-time leading scorer.
