INDIANAPOLIS – LaVall Jordan cannot shield his players from the cloud of pessimism and vitriol hanging over this Butler basketball program.
Instead, all he can do is what all coaches try in the 2020s: Build the team, practice with purpose, address problems, improve daily, filter flak.
“It’s hard to win. And it’s really hard to stay present,” Jordan said. “There’s competition for your attention. There’s people around you. There’s social media and media and all those things.
'We’re going to turn this thing around':Butler better, or it'll be another lost season.
