[wily coyote]

Great decision by BU. Anything that has Dave's name mentioned with BU is a huge plus for BU. Other then players past and present,when I think of BU basketball Daves name is the first thing that comes to my mind. Congrats Dave well deserved.

Dave Snell Joins----

Super move by the AD. My old friend Dave S. is a great guy and a GREAT broadcaster and will be a tremendous asset to BU.

Congrats. to Dave. Looks like the program is getting stronger and stronger with the moves the new AD is making!

[ManMythLegend]

Dr. Cross is making some moves and it is good to see some change and shake-ups within the athletic department. This is great news and Dave Snell deserves it.

On a side note, Dave's brother is one heck of a jeweler and just as nice of a guy. I recently purchased an engagement ring from him, so if anyone is looking to take the plunge, contact Larry at Jewelry on Water! He can take care of you.

Good news for Dave and even better that he is teaching a class!

I agreed with you that he was shaking things up until I saw this move. I simply do not believe this move was made.

You put Jim Les' best friend into a larger role in athletics!?!?

I do not understand this.

IMO this was LONG overdue. Being Les' friend is mutually exclusive to the job. You can't get much better in the Peoria market and at what BU pays than Dave Snell.

Dave Snell is an absolutely amazing man, and has a passion for BU Basketball. He does a great job promoting the Braves, and will serve BU proudly. Snell was involved with BU before JL, and despite your obvious bias, being friends with Les doesn't make you evil or tainted.

I don't know what makes someone amazing, so I will leave that out for now.

As for promoting Bradley and serving it, well I know many who fit that bill.

I also do not know what bias you are referring to either.

However, I do find it interesting that the new AD would hire inside BU, when all we have heard about is getting rid of the old and remaking the image of the athletic department.

I also find it especially hard to believe we will ever get a fair or balanced question from Dave to the coach before or after games.

If you want a bias, that might be it.

[Da Coach]

This isn't about trying to remake the entire athletic department, I believe it's about getting the best people in every position. IMO that's what those in charge are doing.

Fair enough. Needless to say, I disagree with some of the recent moves.

Why would you ever expect a fair or balanced question to a coach from an AD in public? An AD is not a reporter, it is Dave's job to PROMOTE Bradley basketball... SO what's your point?

Dave does cover the team for the radio. So that may be where JD is coming from.

Yes, that was what I was getting at.
