Butler Stays in the Family: New Coach Is Lavall Jordan Butler stays in the family: New coach is LaVall Jordan David Woods, [email protected] Published 6:36 p.m. ET June 12, 2017 | Updated 10:55 p.m. ET June 12, 2017 INDIANAPOLIS — Butler did not promote an assistant coach this time but still stayed in the Butler family. The university is bringing back LaVall Jordan as head basketball coach, the school announced Monday night. Extensive talks with with athletic director Barry Collier began Sunday. Jordan will replace Chris Holtmann, who left Friday to succeed Thad Matta at Ohio State. Holtmann was introduced Monday at a news conference in Columbus, Ohio. (Photo: Dave Kallmann / Milwaukee Journal) Jordan agreed to a six-year contract, a source said. The news conference to introduce him is tentatively set for Wednesday. “This is a dream come true,” Jordan said in a statement released late Monday night. “Butler is a place that means so much to me and my family, and I am honored and humbled to lead this storied program." Jordan, the head coach at Milwaukee of the Horizon League, is the first hired by Butler who was not already on the staff since Collier himself in 1989. Previously promoted: Matta (succeeding Collier), Todd Lickliter, Brad Stevens, Brandon Miller and Holtmann. Jordan, 38, becomes Butler’s 24th basketball coach, fourth in six seasons and ther first black head coach in any men’s sport. He interviewed for the job that ultimately went to Miller in 2013. Lavall Jordan, then Milwaukee coach, instructed during practice for the 2016-17 season at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee UWM men's and women's basketball media day. (Photo: Rick Wood/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel) Collier interviewed two Butler assistants: Terry Johnson, 43, who has been part of the staff for 12 years; and Ryan Pedon, 39, a top recruiter. Micah Shrewsberry, 40, an assistant coach to Stevens for Butler and the Boston Celtics, had dropped out of the running earlier, according to a source. • CHRIS HOLTMANN: Ohio State introduces him (https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/basketball/2017/06/12/live-blog-chris-holtmann-introduced- buckeyes-coach/388820001/) • DOYEL: Recruit Cooper Neese is committed (https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2017/06/12/doyel-butler-butler-cooper- neese-says-even-without-chris-holtmann/387515001/) “LaVall is a tremendous coach who exemplifies the 'Butler Way,'” Collier said. “He has played a major role in successful programs that have competed at the highest levels. LaVall also has a deep appreciation for our university and this program, and will recruit and develop young men who will represent Butler well." A DV E R T I S E M E N T A source said all three of Butler's full-time assistant coaches — Johnson, Pedon and Mike Schrage — are expected to follow Holtmann to Ohio State. That would leave Jordan to assemble an entirely new staff and attempt to retain what has been the highest-rated recruiting class in Butler history (ranked 27th by ESPN). Jordan arrived at Milwaukee in April 2016, signing a five-year contract worth $350,000 a year. As a buyout, Butler would have to pay Milwaukee half of the amount of Jordan’s four remaining years, or a total of $700,000. That would be offset by an expected buyout of $2.5 million from Ohio State to Butler. Barry Collier @BUADCollier Welcome home Coach LaVall Jordan!@ButlerMBB #GoDawgs! 9:10 PM - Jun 12, 2017 9 166 617 Jordan, a native of Albion, Mich., was 11-24 in his first season at Milwaukee, including a nine-game losing streak to end the regular season. Then he took the 10th-seeded Panthers all the way to the Horizon League tournament championship game. They won three games before losing to Northern Kentucky 59-53. • JORDAN: 6 things to know about Butler's new coach • REACTION: it's LaVall Jordan, not LaVar Ball (https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/butler/2017/06/12/reaction-its-lavall-jordan-not-lavar-ball- butler-coach/390976001/) Besides serving as an assistant coach at Butler, Jordan has been at Iowa and Michigan. While at Michigan, the Wolverines reached the national championship game in 2013 and Elite Eight in 2014. Also during Jordan's tenure, Michigan had eight All-Big Ten guards and sent six players to the NBA. After graduating from Butler in 2001 with a journalism degree, he played in Europe and the NBA’s Development League. When he left Butler, he was the winningest player in school history with 91 victories. He helped the Bulldogs reach NCAA tournaments in 1998, 2000 and 2001. He was MVP of the 2001 Midwestern Collegiate Conference tourney and twice a second-team All-MCC selection. He was on the Butler team that beat Wake Forest 79-63 in 2001 for the Bulldogs’ first NCAA tournament victory in 39 years. Eventual national runner-up Arizona eliminated Butler 73-52 in the round of 32. After that game, Jordan told a news conference: “If we played again tomorrow, we’d have a chance to win, no matter who we played against. We’re confident in our system and our program, and that’s just the way we are at Butler. “We always think we have a chance.” Call IndyStar reporter David Woods at (317) 444-6195.

This is the question he couldn’t answer. This is how LaVall Jordan ended up at Butler 20 years ago, starting a journey that continued this week when he became the Bulldogs’ new basketball coach. Buy Photo Twenty years ago LaVall Jordan was a senior guard in Albion, Mich., being recruited by Xavier and Marquette, among others. His first official recruiting trip was to Butler, and when it was over – after seeing Hinkle (Photo: Mykal Fieldhouse and meeting the team and visiting classrooms around campus – Jordan and his father were driving McEldowney/IndyStar) the 3½ hours home. It was somewhere past Fort Wayne, maybe 100 miles from Albion, when Nate Mitchell turned to his son and asked the question that set all of this into motion: “What else are you looking for?” LaVall didn’t answer. His dad broke the silence. “Well, sleep on it,” he told his son. “And if you don’t have an answer in the morning, this is the place.” More great Butler coverage: 'Wow, we have a goofy coach': Butler players hit it off with Jordan (https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/butler/2017/06/14/butler-players-lavall- jordan-ive-heard-nothing-but-good-things/395633001/) 7 takeaways from Butler's introductory press conference for Jordan (https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/butler/2017/06/14/quick- takeaways/397187001/) Report: Recruit Kyle Young trying to decide whether to stick with Butler after coaching change (https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/butler/2017/06/14/report-recruit-kyle-young-trying-decide-whether-stick-butler-after-coaching- change/396781001/) LaVall didn’t have an answer in the morning. For 20 years he hasn’t been able to answer that question. What else is he looking for? Nothing. Butler was where he wanted to play. Butler was where he wanted to coach. “It’s always been a dream that I might get (this job),” Jordan was saying Wednesday from the Wildman Room at Hinkle, where he was introduced as the 24th coach in Butler history. You can do it, Barry. Fullscreen Off to the side, Butler President James Danko was encouraging. New Butler basketball coach LaVall Jordan Standing at the podium, athletic director Barry Collier was introducing Butler’s new coach. It’s something Collier had done three other times, but never quite like this. He introduced Brad Stevens in 2007, Brandon Miller in 2013 and, in a way, Chris Holtmann in 2014. But Collier had never stood at a podium and looked into the front row of a packed news conference and seen someone he had recruited at age 17. In 1997 Collier was in a living room in Albion, musing aloud about the magic that could happen when a player as talented and driven as LaVall Jordan went to a school and basketball program as special and sturdy as Butler. And magic did happen, with Collier and Jordan laying the foundation of this phenomenon we now call The Butler Way. On Wednesday, Barry Collier was looking down into the front row and seeing Jordan, now 38, sitting alongside his wife, Destinee, and their three daughters. Ava, 12, and Alanna, 9, are beautiful in their summer dresses. Adalynn, 4, is next to her dad, sitting in her mom’s lap, with a big white bow in her hair. And it's all too much. Normally as polished as White House silverware, Barry Collier loses his composure after saying he had set out to hire Fullscr not justeen a winner on the court, but a good man and mentor off it. LaVall Jordan introduced as Butler “We found that man …” Collier says, looking at Jordan and his family. Now Collier is looking down, fightingmen ’backs bask tears.etball He goes coach silent. Off to the side, Danko is whispering: "You can do it, Barry." Yes, yes he can.

UCONN is all about rebounding & defense. Ball Screen Offensive is all about reading and countering the defense. Like playing motion, you read and react to the defense “Turnover, Don’t practice turnovers.” This is a favorite Lickliter comment during workouts. Terminology with the ball=Low and tight, below the knees. WING ON BALL SCREEN SCREENER/BIGS 1. Low and Wide is what they tell the screener. 2. Screeners back toward the paint/opposite sideline instead toward half court. Gives the ball handler a much better “angle” for driving. 3. Left foot is ON the three point line.

  • Ohio State Head Coach Chris Holtmann Previews Matchup with Michigan
    Ohio State Head Coach Chris Holtmann Previews Matchup With Michigan After winning back-to-back games against Northwestern and Indiana, the Ohio State men’s basketball team (14-7, 4-6) will look to win its third in a row against Michigan (13-8, 4-6) at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 4. Just one day before the Michigan matchup, Ohio State head coach Chris Holtmann spoke to members of the media about the upcoming game. Michigan is a really good team, playing really well. Lot of respect for Michigan first-year head coach Juwan Howard and how him and his staff are doing. Bad luck or bad three-point defense? There’s some of both. But we’ve got to figure out some ways to contest and challenge three-pointers better. Michigan senior guard Zavier Simpson has a lot of great attributes, but I think his best attribute is his brain. His ability to read the defense is phenomenal. Offensively we’ve been pretty good, but our defensive numbers have got to get better. Offensively, we have to lower the amount of turnovers. The Indiana game was a really clean one offensively for us. Our ball movement was really good against Northwestern, too. Our ball movement is better, and part of it was how Indiana played defensively. When you’re in the best league in the country, it’s going to happen. Your biggest concern is how you’re playing. I’m interested to see how guys getting more minutes and changing roles with DJ Carton out will impact us and how they’ll develop through that.

    Press Conference Transcript March 28, 2018 Interim President Dr. Greg Postel “Good afternoon; wow, what a crowd. Thank you so much for joining us here this afternoon. We can’t tell you how thrilled we are to have such an amazing crowd for us to tell a truly wonderful story for the next chapter of the University of Louisville. What an outstanding two-week period this has been for UofL and for Cardinal athletics. Let’s think back over just a few successes from the past two weeks. Our men’s swimming and diving team finished ninth in the NCAA Championship, which is their best finish of all-time. During that championship, Marcelo Acosta earned All-America honors, so special accommodation to him. Our women’s swimming and diving team finished fifth in the country. I will note that Mallory Comerford swam the second fastest 200 freestyle in history, as she won her second NCAA championship, so truly an amazing achievement for her. But there’s more, our women’s basketball team has now earned a coveted spot in the Final Four this week in Columbus, Ohio. And just two days ago, with many of you present, I had the distinct honor to introduce our new athletics director, Vincent Tyra, who will lead our program into the future. Vince took the reins of one of America’s best athletic programs. One that is committed to top performance both on and off the court. Through his work as interim athletic director, he has shown that he will continue to push for that level of excellence.

Advisor vs. Adviser ● Use advisor, never adviser. Addresses ● Spell out street types (Boulevard, Avenue, Parkway, Suite, Terrace, etc.) ● No period for NE NW SE SW. Use a period for E. W. S. N. ● Designate rooms as follows: Jordan Hall, Room 202. ● When listing a building and a room together put the building first and use a comma to separate (Atherton Union, Reilly Room) ● Spell out U.S. state names in text, even when following the name of a major city.
