No qualms, but do we have numbers from previous years to see if this year is worse? -

No, she's being the president of the university. I don't think the decision has been set in stone but I think she already knows exactly what she is going to do once the season is over. She's not going tip her hand at this point one way or the other.Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
It's just like the rediculous comments that Jim lies to the media when he doesn't reveal a player's injury or some other thing before a game.
Da Coach, you explained the situation perfectly in an old post.
Right now she has to walk a tight line and say the right things. It is a delicate balancing act.If a reporter asked a coach to give details about his game plan for an important game, is it unethical for that coach to give untrue or deceptive information so as not to reveal his true game plan and give the other team an undeniable advantage?
Of course it is not. No coach or participant in any sport on any level would consider it unethical to dodge the question or give deceptive answers in order to give his own team an advantage. It happens in every sport from basketball to poker to competetive bass fishing.
Anyone offended by this should get out of following competetive sports.
If anyone thinks this is unethical, let me ask this, should a baseball pitcher be required to tell the batter what pitch he's about to throw? Why not? It's the same issue!
Just the facts...Comment

I base a lot on tournament attendance...Originally posted by Big Mike View Post
While other schools only attend specifically when they're expected to win (Drake, ISU, UNI), teams like Bradley, SIU, Wichita, and Creighton usually represent well regardless of finish...
Well, the last couple years have proven to me how down the programs are at Bradley and SIU...
When UNI sells 5 sections and Bradley barely fits into 2, there's a problem but once again JMO...Comment

It's pretty sad that 90% of the talk the last couple of days has centered around the coaching situation for NEXT year, and we've got a game coming up in 7 hours that the BU hoops team is excited about.
I know people are anxious about the coaching situation, but it would be nice to focus on the season that's left. We're getting sucked into this debacle that we have no control over. Wessler's timing was awful for this article IMO.
Just expressin' my thoughts. Just in no mood to be talking about if Coach Les stays or goes...not until after this weekend.Comment

I was skeptical and concerned about hiring a stock broker to coach a major university; but it was Jim Les who was a star at BU and I knew would do everything possible to make BU a strong BB school. On the other hand after 9 years I have expected a "lot" more. If I were considering JL as my coach based on his resume, I would not give him much consideration. JMO.Originally posted by BUFAN View PostComment

My prediction!
Coach Les will be here next year in large part because of the injuries. However, next year will be his last year if he does not perform to the administartions satisfaction....and....I agree with this decision.Comment

From my way outsider perspective, this is what I hope. I think he deserves a shot to win with everyone. If he doesn't, then let the chips fall.Originally posted by afan View PostComment

You are correct in that why have these articles not been written weeks ago, not the last week of the season when the team is trying to concentrate on the tour; how about right after the season.Originally posted by LittleBrave View PostComment

I have given this subject alot of thought and have said on here I'm glad its not my decision. i agree with your post and second it. I also think the buyout money also comes into play with this decision. We will know the answer in a few short days.Originally posted by afan View PostComment

I would contend that he had "his shot to win" last year...and we didn't. He had Warren, Maniscalco, and Brown and we finished 5th in the conference.Originally posted by Buesch N Chips View Post
Just doesn't inspire much confidence in the potential for next year being significantly different, IMO...Comment

I agree!Originally posted by ER3 View Post
I'm not sure what more is left...after 9 years, I think he has fully and completely shown what he is...
And more than that, how many chances does he deserve?!
Recall, this was the guy who yes took a team to the Sweet 16, but a team that only was such a shocker because they underperformed so terribly during the year that they weren't on anyone's radar! They did finish 5th guys!
Also, it wouldn't make any sense to write the article KW wrote on say Momday if that's when the decision could be made...as in the article would be during or after the decision...
I agree that maybe it should've been posted Mon or Tue, but no timing is good timing when you're talking about negative pub...but that said, Les gets paid to deal with this on a day to day basis and while DR wants to pussyfoot around things, KW doesn't...some like this and some really don't...
Either way, we should have our decision shortly, and like I said, I lean one way but that's only because I think it will better the basketball program...either way I am and will always be a Brave!Comment
