The Coaching Tree: LaVall Jordan & Butler up on #1 Villanova at the half
On CBS. Incredible play to end 1st half.
Always a snazzy dresser, the T-shirt he's wearing is a team/school tribute.
EDIT: Tribute info: "Project 44" in memory of former player Andrew Smith (#44), center on Butler's 2010 & 2011 Final Four Teams who died of cancer, to encourage signing the national bone marrow registery. and today honoring his former teammate Chase Stigall who signed up, matched a 2-year-old, donated the bone marrow to save his life. [LaVall signed up as soon as he became head coach.]

I just hope he doesn’t score a big time job before Beilein retires. If everything worked out, I’d love to see him coach Michigan.

Would he leave Butler? It's his alma mater and they are in great shape in the Big East.

Thought about putting money on Nova when they were down 20. You could see the momentum changing.

I took points on Nova winning by 6 guess that didn’t work out
