We have not won the Valley tour. since it moved to StLouis, it has been way too long since we contended for first place, will never forget our great Sweet 16 run in beating Kansas and Pitt, if Bradley expects to keep our great fan base and get some of the younger people to attend their games then they need to get this hiring right because this town is hungry for a winner and winning brings you sell outs.
Interesting that link goes to the article "Defining Moment at BU." Here is a different article called changin-coach-changin minds. It is about recruits and how they committed because of Les.
With the news breaking a day before Bradley intended to release it, much needed to be done before BU could issue its own news release.
It's a little disappointing that administration wasn't prepared for this. I'm not sure why they didn't have a release prepared in advance knowing that once people were met with the news was bound to leak.

They were trying to do the "classy" thing and not send out the press release until the day after the tournament ended. That almost worked.
???People say, ???Forget last year', but I want our guys to remember that one, because that will not happen again. We will be much better.??? Geno Ford, 9/22/12
Recruits will have to meet the new coach and make their decision based on that.
Bradley needed to make the move, and the administration knew they might lose players. Obviously, they felt the need for a coaching change outweighed the risk of player defection.
When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.
Have we not heard from Jim because his exit package is not done? I hope he can get past this and understands the chance he was given by BU and stays as part of the great history of BU. I have a great deal of respect for him but it could go to a new level if he called our recruits and our current players and told them Bradley is the place for them. This is Jim's college as a player and a coach, its been a big part of his life, he should set pride aside and do the right thing. Easy to say but hard to do, I am not in his shoes so its for me to say what he should do.

What is the right thing for Jim to do.... and why put the pressure on his side? How about the president should do the right thing.
The main thing that I take from this article is that Dr Cross is the "fall guy" if this hire turns out to be bad! Sorry Dr Cross, but we know where the real decisions are being made on these matters.
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.??™
