LaVall Jordan appears to be the frontrunner to replace Brad Stevens as head coach at Butler.

Jordan is a current Michigan assistant and former Butler player.

Jordan has spent the past three seasons on John Beilein's staff at Michigan. 

Jordan is credited with the development of Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr.

The Boston Celtics have hired Brad Stevens as head coach on a six-year contract worth $22 million, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.

Stevens became one of basketball's most coveted coaches during his two consecutive runs to the Final Four with Butler.

"Brad and I share a lot of the same values," said Celtics President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge. "Though he is young, I see Brad as a great leader who leads with impeccable character and a strong work ethic. His teams always play hard and execute on both ends of the court. Brad is a coach who has already enjoyed lots of success, and I look forward to working with him towards Banner 18."

Stevens is still just 36 and is a big proponent of advanced statistics.

Stevens will replace Doc Rivers, who the Celtics parted ways with this offseason in exchange for a first round pick from the Los Angeles Clippers.
