Everyday Hero: Retiring HS Basketball Coach Vic Butler

Today's Everyday Hero is Vic Butler. He's retiring after 29 years of coaching basketball at Erasmus High School. His biggest accomplishment wasn't achieved on the court, Erasmus High School's basketball coach's biggest victory wasn't on the court - but in getting every kid he mentored to go on to college. All 400 of them.

Butler stopped by the PIX11 Morning News for a look back at the nearly three decades he spent making a difference and changing lives at the Brooklyn high school
