      I'm with you B4L. JL is a class act and has been about as good an ambassador for BU that we all could have hoped for. He should hold his head up high and I'm sure he is. If this is all ego driven then it will come out in the open by who is put in to replace him. If we are taking a few steps back, without a hope to move forward, then I expect a huge backlash.

        This is the part that scares me, we need a good search committee and be willing to pay more if we expect to get a good coach, if the board lets this Pres. pick a coach then things will not get better.

          Onward and upward. Thank you for 13 great years as a player and coach. In my world, you always have a place at BU. Once a Brave, always a Brave.
          Onward and Upward!

            I know you're not saying this because the president is female, correct?

              Let's face it this will be her biggest hire and anything short of a winner and I can see a huge backlash from the alums and community.

                    IF true then this decision will be the defining one for Cross and Glasser. If they don't get it right I don't see either of them lasting either.

                      I wouldn't be so sure about this. I don't know anything either, but from what I have heard the administration is treating this next step with the utmost importance. But only time will tell. There will not be a shortage of great candidates IMO.

                        Thanks Jim for your service as a player and Bradley employee.

                        Best Wishes

                          Others have told them the same, so obviously they don't care, and the only thing that matters is having their way.

                          The only person I do not feel sorry for is Jim. He'll be paid fully for 3 more years, and I have no doubt he'll land on his feet. But a move like this will burn a lot of bridges, with financial supporters, with players, and with former Bradley players.

                            No, he is not. Pres Glasser needs to be in control of everything and doesn't like being second guessed.

                            I'm sure there will be great candidates, its the hire I'm concerned about...

                                Agreed. I have been told by people who've had conversations with her that rightly or wrongly, she views this hire as the move that will define her legacy at the university. If that's true, then I am excited at the type of candidates we may be considering, and I expect us to make the best possible hire.

                                Like with Mo, if you're gonna make a move, it had better be to get better. Not to maintain the status quo or to get worse, but to get BETTER. We can do better, but we can also do a lot worse. Let's hope we do a LOT better, because I don't like axing an alum to go backwards.
