Gordon’s time with SHU short but lasting

Seton Hall had just wrapped up a win over Providence when a reporter asked the head coach to reflect on Gordon’s lone year in South Orange.
“I can’t say enough good things about DG,” Willard said Thursday night. “He is such a pleasure to be around. He is such a good person. He is such a good teammate. He’s unselfish. He sacrificed his role this year a bit for the betterment of the team. I’ve been very blessed to have been able to coach him and we’ve all been very blessed to have him as a teammate.”
