INDIANAPOLIS – LaVall Jordan is out as basketball coach at Butler.
The university made the announcement Friday amid speculation Jordan would be fired coming off a 14-19 season, the Bulldogs’ most losses in 32 years. It was his third losing season out of four, something that had not happened at Butler since the 1980s.
“After a thorough evaluation, I have come to the decision that a change in the leadership of our men’s basketball program is needed,” athletic director Barry Collier said in a news release. “These decisions are never easy, but are incredibly more difficult when it impacts a high-character Bulldog who has represented our university so well for many years.
