  • Outcoached.

    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?

        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.

          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.

          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.

            It's always luck...just ask Dave and Chuck

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

                Exactly. We had a few calls go against us, but thus is the norm. With mediocre coaching, that becomes a nonfactor.

                  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

                    Could not agree more...

                      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.

                        Is one of the worst 8 year stretches in program history acceptable to you?

                          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.

                            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.

                              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?
