Women’s basketball head coach Amanda Butler is just about to start her third season with the Gators in roughly three weeks, had surgery done on Monday to repair a ton left Achilles that happened in a flag football incident last weekend.

“She was playing flag football and ripped her Achilles,’’ UF assistant coach Susie Gardner said Monday. “She’ll recover nicely.

You know I thought the coach was the ones who had to worry about the players getting hurt, now it’s the players who have to watch out for their coach.

Butler was playing quarterback on Sunday when she got injured.

Coach Amanda Butler and her lady Gators will face Stetson on November 4 for the season opener.
