What was your impression after meeting him? I've never met him, but everyone says he is very personable and charming.
Very religious guy from his tweets. Hot wife. Beautiful children. Nice guy. He gives my wife a hugs. One of his coaches on his staff is Todd Townsend. Todd started every game for Marquette's 2003 Final Four team. So, it was another goal of mine to get to know the staff. LJ does alot of pictures with fans and students, so he can work a room.
Jordan was left with nobody on the roster because we are stuck with a terrible AD at UWM in Amanda Braun. Many players transfered because of Braun. The firing of Rob Jeter didn't go over well, alongside many other things. Did you see the movie Major League? Amanda Braun is the owner of the Cleveland Indians in that movie.
As for the basketball side of things. LJ hates turnovers! Tough defense is his goal. Gives different looks. Yes, UWM lost 24 games. They were not blown out in too many games. It was amazing what he did with 10 players with no division one college experience, other than one guy. Cody Wichmann, who entered as a senior that averaged 4 points per game. UWM's two tallest players were both 6'7. UWM found themselves getting better and it came together in the HL Tournament. Lost a heartbreaker in the title game. Strong recruiting class is coming in. Who knows now.
I'm happy for Butler. The Butler Way, will still be winning ways.
