Ronald Nored, the 27-year-old head coach of the Long Island Nets in their inaugural season, could be headed to his alma mater, Butler, who’s looking at a replacement for Chris Holtmann, who left for Ohio State this week.
The Indianapolis Star reports that Nored, who started at point guard for Butler’s two national championship appearances, is one of several candidates, although it suggested that one of Holtmann’s assistants could be first in line.
Nored helped the Bulldogs reach back-to-back NCAA championship games in 2010 and 2011 as a point guard. He would be young for a college head coach, but he is beloved at Butler and would be an energetic recruiter.
