What is happening at Lafayette? Is Mike Jordan gone? Published stories said administrative leave, at least what I’ve seen….but nothing beyond that….
As far as I can tell, the investigation is ongoing. They may not have a resolution for a few more weeks. If it is found that some sort of misconduct has occurred, it is possible LC will make a change. If they do, I would expect them to name interim head coach Mike McGarvey as the new head coach.
Lafayette’s student newspaper about 10 days ago had a very good article about the program. It quoted two sources close to the program:how morale had had become markedly worse since Jordan became coach:
“”Two students close to the basketball team noticed a change in the players’ behavior this past season under Jordan.
“It is like night and day watching the team compared to over the years,” one student said. “It’s almost as though they have lost their light and passion. Even when they make a basket, they no longer do their little celebrations or even break a smile. It’s as if they are conditioned to keep going because what they do is not good enough.”
“There’s definitely a change in energy and morale from the team,” the other student said. “They don’t seem to be their usual selves and there is a lack of good spirits.””
