Tod (one D) was named Director of Scouting in 2000-01, but really only focused on amateur after the trade deadline, and he and Mike Sands both worked on the drafting process. He became a full-time amateur scout in 2005-06 and became the full overseer of the draft in 2010 after Sands left the organization.
There's a book out right now that has an entire chapter dedicated to Button's impact on the organization.
