Alvin Brooks leaving Bradley staff

[thefish7]

Incidentally I wouldn't mind seeing one more change on the staff but that's just my opinion.

I agree as we need a big man coach.

Kyle Vogt is very hard-working, loyal and very knowledgable about the game. He will do just fine!

That is all well and good but if he is unable to get out and get into homes of higher end recruits, then in this day and age of college basketball his hard working, loyalty and knowledge isnt real useful. BU needs a highly connected assistant, actually more then just one. From all appearances Vogt is not that person. It is all about recruiting.

Even if Webster is a short term solution... I am certain he has higher aspirations he is a big time upgrade and well worth the job.

Huh? Vogt can stay and we will still bring in another coach? So what's your issue with Vogt staying on? We aren't going to bring in some big name recruiter as a 3rd assistant. Vogt is the ideal 3rd assistant.

I don't think thefish7 is talking about an assistant coach... Just my guess.

i agree.

TW would be a nice bridge to the "chicago pipeline" and also has some valuable coaching experience to add to the mix...would be a good hire IMO! Good Luck to AB3....and on bgetting back home...now lets get someone in who wants to be here and recruit BU back to where we all want to be!

[shaunguth]

Good luck to him, sure hope we are hiring T.Webster as it could be our biggest difference maker yet on getting great players out of Chicago and the midwest.

Maybe we can even get our big man of the future...........in 2014!

Tracy Webster got a bad deal a DePaul. Taking over a team in mid season with NO real talent to speak of While head coach there, he did show some fire and did do a good job under all the circumstances He was a asst. coach under Gene Keady at Purdue and thats a good thing, considering all the asst. coach's and ex players that are/have become successful head and asst. coach's under Gene I think this would be a great addition

Are we at a point yet where we can say that this departure (AB) along with EB's, is nothing short of being labeled as a major shake up in BU's coaching staff I would say so And I think a much needed one

[shaunguth]

One more thing here. Wasn't it posted here about a sighting of Tracy Webster at BU's games in St. Louis If so, just MAYBE we have been considering Tracy for a while and just maybe this has been a done deal for some time

Not sure about any of that, but we did play DePaul last fall.

[lake Camelot]

Here's my negativive input

First of all I thought Depaul played much better with Webster as head coach. I thought he did fine. I also think we have a top assistant already hired so we don't have to hit a home run.

But..... I think Tracy Webster is one of the most over rated assistants I can think of. He didn't do anything at Illinois, and after he left and Jerrance Howard took over Illinois started getting recruits. Then he went to UK coach was fired, went to Depaul coach was fired. I really don't think he is a good recruiter. I would rather have the lower ranked David Booth if we were getting someone from Depaul.

PS Sorry this hits a hot button for me. I am not a fan.

The DePaul game was closed door, remember So thats not it
Trust me friend, there was a sighting and a posting on here about it It may be relevant but there was mention about it

I'm aware it was closed-door.......just saying, we did play them last fall.
