==Early life==
Matthew Graves is the son of Rick and Melonie Graves. One of four children, all boys, Graves grew up in the small town of Switz City, Indiana (population 311). "A big night in Switz City is probably going to the local movie theater, then to McDonald's," remarked Graves.〔 Growing up, the Graves brothers were obsessed with basketball. At one point, the Graveses had six basketball hoops set up at different heights in their backyard so that each of the boys could practice at a different level.〔 Graves played high school basketball for White River Valley where he was an All-State honorable mention recipient his junior year.
Two of Graves' three brothers, A. J. and Andrew, also played basketball for Butler.〔 Matthew and A. J. were born eleven years apart, so shared little in common, except for basketball.〔 By the time A. J. Graves was in college, Matthew was on the Butler staff. Commenting on the experience of having a coach and player son simultaneously Rick Graves said, "Matthew sees everything that A. J. does wrong, and it causes a little tension. But would we do it again? Yes, we would. It has not been a bad experience by any means. And it's easier for Mom and Dad, because we can watch them both."〔 Matthew said the experience brought him closer to his brother. "To be around him every day for three years, to watch him grow as a player and a person, it () a privilege", Graves remarked.〔
