Not a personal attack - just a statement of fact that any rational person would agree with.
This team is going to be really bad for several years when we could have just kept Les and won the conference next year.
Give me a break. You need to take some deep breaths and step away from the computer for a while.
We weren't going to win the Valley next year...and this isn't the end of the world. It will be OK.
You got it! I WILL be the first one to start the "fire Glasser" poll if this does not work out!
I think the timing of letting JL go now is highly risky. If I were the prez, I would have given him another year. I would have also let him go before conference play started next year if the team was still struggling and let Coach Platt serve out the remainder of the season as Interim Head Coach.
She and Dr. Cross must be pretty confident of signing a proven winner to have pulled the trigger right now. If the hire does not work, then JG's time at BU will become limited as well.
B4L -- maybe you see something in there about JL being fired..but that tweet by Warren is exactly like the ones he's been posting for several days...and they say nothing about a firing..
I took it one way, and you another...... it happens.
and B4L --- I doubt anyone on these boards has gone to as many Bradley games, supported Bradley as fervently in ALL situations, or given as much time, energy or $$ over the years as I have to Bradley -- I think your comments are cheap and out of line...
I'm sorry you took it that way.... I thought you were going to support BU no matter which decision was made...... I know I still do.
...oh,. and btw -- you obviously still don't have an answer to my question..
Not sure what the question was..... probably irrelevant anyway..... but if it makes you feel better..... OK.
How is this post of the year? I have never liked JG's athletic control and decisions, have been vocal about that (I'd dare to say moreso than any other person on this board). I like JL, and am unsure of him long term. I've been vocal about that. I have never said anyone is bad for their opinion JL should be let go.
Remind me again how I am a hypocrite?
Come on McKillip! Where did I call this post of the year? And did I call you a hypocrite? Check again. You're better than that, friend.
B4L -- my lifelong passion is Bradley basketball -- I have little interest or loyalty to administrative business in Swords Hall...
if by merely asking a simple question about who has she hired thus far -- triggers confusion and a total lack of any actual answers, then I guess I was right to assume that it would indeed be a question that would go unanswered...
but the answer to the question is what should bother BU basketball fans...
You got it! I WILL be the first one to start the "fire Glasser" poll if this does not work out!
Looks like the race for the fire JG poll will be between you and I!
Bradley 72 - Illini 68 Final
???It??™s awful hard,??™??™ said Illini freshman guard D.J. Richardson, the former Central High School guard who played prep school ball a few miles from here and fought back tears outside the locker room. ???It??™s a hometown thing. It??™s bragging rights.??™

My bad, I didn't mean post of the year. You said fantastic post. My question remains.

I agree Dallas, definitely a risky move and one where I would have preferred to see Les stay another year. However, leaders lead and winners take risks. Glasser has been both as far as Bradley is concerned and I'm hoping this move pays dividends as well. In fact, I hope many of our "pro-Les/anti-Glasser" posters have to eat crow in a few years..... I'm guessing those posts vanish..... poof!
As I said, I support BU now more than ever. I've got a Braves Club renewal and a BU donor card sitting right here on my desk that I plan to mail back this week. GO BU!

We've got a professional search committee, my friend. Relax. Glasser's a smart lady and she knows BU Basketball is the straw that stirs the Bradley drink. Let her lead and give her your support. We've had 9 years of ZERO MVC Championships with Les and longer if you factor in the Mo era. BU Basketball has always survived a change and will again. Let's face it, we've got nowhere to go but up after the past 20 years or so.
The deed is done. Let's move onward and upward. While I would have kept JL another year, I don't find a lot of fault in deciding to let him go now. He had a chance to show he could coach this year, and for the most part of the season, it wasn't showing. He got 9 years of D1 coaching on his resume. He highly profited from his time here and the university gave him a huge opportunity when it hired him. Despite the fact he got fired, he should be thankful for the long run he got at the school. I would hope he would talk to the players and urge them to stay at Bradley. It was a good college choice for JL and it remains a good college choice for the players now on the roster.

So your bumper sticker will read 'Elite Eight or Bust!'? That is where we have to go to go 'up'

Now now mckillip. We've all given Les his props for what he did that ONE season. I'm referring to the last 20 or more years for Bradley Basketball. We've not seen glory years since my time as a student.

Is this really you? or someone posting in your stead?....This has been a tough season...but if you think the last 20 years has been down? really? I will certainly not kick JL while he is down...man.. just wish him the best and thank him for what he as accomplished.....
