Seems that some people here were pretty accurate with their past predictions about key players leaving.

Go ahead DC...pat yourself on the back. You got this one right...

No coaching change occurs without someone leaving the program, and Sam was the most likely candidate. I wish him well.

[MikeCash]

Wow. I loved Sam's tenure here. I'll never get used to him in orange...

[electricmayhem]

The bottom of that article scares me too... if RA doesn't come to BU, and we lose SM as well, it's going to be a long 11-12 season.

There's an old song called "It's only just begun" .The new coach will have alot of work to do. Luck Sammy

[BradleyJD]

Bradley has to focus on players that want to be at Bradley. They cannot and should not worry on anyone who is leaving.

I say give the release and focus on the players that are committed to being a Brave.

[amettrick]

I can understand why Sam might want to make this move. In fact, it makes a lot of sense for him. However, I really hope he at least waits until we hire a new coach and hears what they have to say before making a final decision.

[it's boogie time]

I don't think this is a good fit at all for either party. I love Sammy, but I can't see him stopping guys like Lewis Jackson. Maybe I'm just bitter.

There's a lot of great adjectives to describe SM and he's a great point guard to have when you are leading late in the game. However, he isn't the type of point guard that Illinois needs unless they plan on just playing a half court game. Bradley has been brutal on the transition offense the past few years. I'd be interested to know Bradley's fast break points over the years.

so accurate that the story is almost a cut and paste off the boards...
.....but where's the cries that the PJ Star is trying to create panic with the sky is falling headline?

...count the cost....

Bradley has to focus on players that want to be at Bradley. ...

or maybe focus on getting rid of the reasons why players wouldn't want to come to or be at Bradley...

Wasn't the headline "BU guard asks for release"?

That's pretty tame, to me.

or maybe focus on getting rid of the reasons why players wouldn't want to come to or be at Bradley...

Well he's leaving because his major is forcing him to OR he decided to quit. Right?

[tornado]

.. Bradley basketball will still float on and people should still support that.

I don't recall seeing your support of the head coach of Bradley lately..

[BradleyJD]

Onward and upward. Some posters on this board are right, there are going to be some growing pains and if players want to leave I'm over it. Bradley basketball will still float on and people should still support that.

That's my point. You have to keep going. Sometimes the going is hard, but you keep moving.

JL did that too. He didn't stop working when the losses mounted. I am sure the players that stick this out and stay together will be that much stronger.

It's hard when the coach changes and then players leave you. But I believe the players on the roster will stick together.

Yes. Please elaborate on those reasons.....

there have been a lot of people who have showed weak or non-existent support of our players and head coach...
I expect it from the PJS but it came as a surprise when it comes from people claioming to be BU fans..if the shoe fits..

I wanted a change. Yet, I still bought season tickets. I still went to St. Louis. I still cheered on BU at every turn.

Now, people who CLAIM to be BU fans are saying we should "hate" the President, cheer players for leaving, and hope the next coach fails.

Or saying all the donors will be pulling their money.

I never saw people "hoping" JL failed. Maybe some were disappointed, but never hoping for failure.

Strange how that works.

As you said, if the shoe fits.

Are you BU fans or JL fans?
