Butler’s Jordan retains Kampen, Crone on staff
Butler coach LaVall Jordan has hired the first two members of his initial men’s basketball staff, and they are two individuals incredibly familiar to Bulldog fans.
Emerson Kampen will assume one of the three assistant coach positions on staff, while Brandon Crone, a former four-year letter-winner for the Bulldogs, will serve as the coordinator of basketball operations. Both Kampen and Crone were part of Butler’s most recent coaching staff.
Over the past three seasons, Kampen, a 2013 Butler graduate and former player, and Crone have helped the Bulldogs to a 70-31 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance in each season.
The 2016-17 team posted a 25-9 record, a second-place finish in the Big East and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011.
