LaVall Jordan faces challenge in matching Chris Holtmann's tenure at Butler

Posted Jul 6, 2017
The search to replace Chris Holtmann at Butler took 72 hours, if that. Thirty-eight-year-old LaVall Jordan -- a Butler alum and former Bulldogs assistant, and most recently coach at Milwaukee -- will try to keep this program nationally competitive. It will not be easy, and Butler is one of the most interesting jobs in any Major 7 (ACC, AAC, Big 12, Big East Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC) league. (CBS Sports)
