Butler has agreed to deal in principle with Milwaukee head coach LaVall Jordan, a source confirmed to ESPN.
Jordan played at Butler for Bulldogs athletic director Barry Collier and was also an assistant with the Bulldogs under Todd Lickliter.
Jordan followed Lickliter to Iowa, then was on staff at Michigan under John Beilein and took the Milwaukee last season.
Milwaukee was 11-24 last season.
Jordan played four seasons at Butler from 1997-2001 and led the team in scoring (11.7 PPG) in the 1999-2000 season.
