Twitter was full of hope and promise again just days after being devastated as Butler University men’s basketball announced it had hired LaVall Jordan to replace Chris Holtmann as the new head coach. Excited homecomings and somber remembrances of Joel Cornette dominated social media.

I’m guilty of it too, reading it too fast but thats LaVall Jordan the new Butler coach. Not Lavar ball. You may now exhale Butler fans.

The Butler Way: bigger than one coach, one player. But you already knew that, @LaVall_Jordan. Excited to watch your squad get to work. https://t.co/KqwzhkXDls
