It is simple. We lost a very winnable game because we were outcoached. Not only do we have a lackluster head coach, we have no assistants to back him up. Jim Les, in his usual glory, failed to call a timeout at least twice in the first half when we were on our heels, and at least once in the second half... And then we let WE sit and play perennial non-factor SS instead. Not happy with the game, not happy with the program. Eagerly awaiting a change. Anyone else agree before this post gets deleted?

How about sticking with a zone after 12 three-pointers rain down on you?When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. -
i thought we should have called time-out during the latter stages of the game. how many time-outs did we leave?Comment

Just 1 timeout leftover, but the staying in the zone I do NOT understand. Creighton was owning that 3-pointer tonight. Maybe it was because CR was hurt for a bit and he didn't feel Eastman could handle his man man-to-man. I dunno, I feel like that's digging pretty deep to make excuses.
Don't have to dig as deep to make the ref excuse, the ref with the bad comb-over looking piece of business "scored" at least 6 on us, if not more. Still, had it too close to let it get away.Comment

Sam Singh led both teams with 7 rebounds filling in for WE in the first half. He also played good defense on Lawson and his help defense was good.Originally posted by BU_EMT128 View Post
Les was fine in this game. The zone defense is silly, but they also don't usually make that many 3s. Some of it is bad luck.
Just jump already.Comment

Creighton beats us without Nate Funk, without Booker Woodfox, without P'Allen Stinnett. No excuses from them. Just wins.Onward and Upward!

Exactly. We had a few calls go against us, but thus is the norm. With mediocre coaching, that becomes a nonfactor.Originally posted by thefish7 View PostBradley Basketball... One Tradition; Underachievement. 2008-Current.Comment

It's funny how these go away when we win for a while, then as soon as we lose, BANG! Fire coach les, this program has no direction, and on and on and on

no, trust me... I am on the anti-JL bandwagon regardless of the record. In order for Bradley to be truly successful, we need a HEAD COACH. Not a player reliving the glory days.Originally posted by BUfan14 View PostIt's funny how these go away when we win for a while, then as soon as we lose, BANG!

Is one of the worst 8 year stretches in program history acceptable to you?Originally posted by BUfan14 View PostIt's funny how these go away when we win for a while, then as soon as we lose, BANG! Fire coach les, this program has no direction, and on and on and onOnward and Upward!

He didn't come in to an already built program though, so it would take some time to build and with the gradual process we aren't back there yet but I think we are getting there with a bright future. So yes when taking that he came to the program while it was "in a bad stretch" yes it is to me considering the circumstances. And no I don't think 8 years is too long to build it before you ask.Originally posted by BradleyBrave View PostComment

YEah see other thread. I equated effect of awful reffing against mind-boggling zone choice. I don't agree with you that Les is a bad coach, but I think he overdoes it against Dana. Feel like I've been here before.Originally posted by BU_EMT128 View PostComment

IMO I can't see how leaving timeouts in your pocket when you have one possession is acceptable!!!!!!!!!!! what is the reasoning for not calling a timeout? oh ok the defense can get set up...bull****ing****. I'll take a set play to free up AW or SM and have a plan B guy any day then a desperate contested rushed shot.
we had 2 chances with AW in the corner and SM at the end...we had to figure out something (a timeout would have done this)
can someone explain why i am wrong?Comment
