Loyola’s seasoned guard with fan-favorite grit
Justin Coons is a Loyola Chicago guard whose value is less about flash and more about reliability, toughness, and team-first energy. In the 2002-03 season, he appeared in 9 games and averaged 4.9 minutes, 0.9 points, and 0.9 assists per game, showing a low-usage, steady role rather than high-volume production[1]. Loyola described him as a “fan favorite,” which lines up with the kind of intangibles coaches usually love: dependable, energetic, and ready to soak up guard minutes when needed[3].
