Deal in place for LaVall Jordan will pay him $350,000 annually plus incentives.

That seems like too much for someone with no head coaching experience. His predecessor was only making $100,000 more.

Coaching salaries are getting crazy in general.

If am I not mistaken, he took undersized guard Trey Burke to B1G Player of the Year & Trey was a finalist for National Player of the Year as well. This could bode even better for Jordy if he decides to stick around.

He took Burke to the Big Ten Player of the year and finalist for player of the year? I keep hearing that in Jordan's bio but wasn't Burke a MCDONALD'S HIGH SCHOOL ALL AMERICAN? What more did the coach do?

I wanted to hear him start saying the "Milwaukee Way" ala Butler haha but I like what I heard today. Can't wait to get the chance to meet Coach Val, and see where this goes

Correct, got to pay the 2016 going rate.

Welcome to Milwaukee Basketball, Coach Jordan.

Jordan also receives a salary pool of $300,000 to hire "4.5 assistant coaches/support staff."

Jeter's staff (2014-15):

Boudreau - 85k
Conroy - 75k
Chambliss - 56k
Hill - 36k
Hanson - 36k

That's ~288k, so just about what Jordan will have.

Jimmy, I wish our lousy Milwaukee media would have asked about timetable on putting together a coaching staff and who he might be looking for.

Jordan said he hopes to have at least two staff members “on the ground” by Monday in Milwaukee.
