Thomas Jackson embraces opportunity to reunite with Coach Lickliter

Jackson has worked for the NBA G-League over the last three seasons

Thomas "TJ" Jackson and Todd Lickliter first crossed paths in 1999 when Jackson was a sophomore at Butler University and Lickliter joined the staff as an assistant coach. Lickliter was Jackson's position coach for two years before taking over as the head coach in his senior season of 2001-02. That season saw the Bulldogs win what was at the time a school record 26 games. Fast forward 18 years later – the two have joined forces once again and hope to capture the same record-breaking magic.
