Regardless of who the hire is the decision will be that of JG, MC will not do the hiring - his recommendation will only be the one that JG wants - MC did not fire JL - no matter what he or the JS says - JL was fired by JG.
This is the kind of stuff that happens when two message boards attempt to be the main place of gathering for a group of fans. Now both sides willingly take shots at the other site and it sucks, no matter who you think is "wrong" or "right".
As for the newspaper itself, it has its flaws, I'll gladly admit.

Who in this thread is taking shots at the other message board?
We agree completely! Talk about a mediocre record!!
Exactly, however the PJS believes his record was "impressive".
Does it surprise anyone these stories continue to roll out on a regular basis?
SM asks for release, SM didn't ask for release, SM granted release; BU offers Max a scholarship, BU didn't offer Max a scholarship; and now this.

This is the way I view it...
The PJS Message board used to be the ONLY place of gathering for fans... and of all kinds of teams. With many teams supported, there'd be some checks-n-balances on arguments. Which can be good. But I often felt it was Bradley vs ISU, SIU and UIUC. Outnumbered all the time. Add to that, the moderating crew was almost all ISU fans.
Then BradleyFans was started. It was to be a place of gathering for Bradley Fans created and moderated by Bradley Fans.
I would have to say it slowly got going. Probably more traffic at the PJS board for a while after this one started. Heck - I even preferred hanging out there more than here in the beginning. But I remember the day I chose to leave that board. It was the day Bradley lost to SIU in the MVCT Championship. The mindless/worthless honks over there that had Bradley fans outnumbered spewing crap about playing so bad and ugly and FOR SURE gonna be left out of the NCAA. I was done - couldn't hold a serious conversation with people stuck-on-stupid.
Then Bradley advances to the Sweet 16. >>BLAM<< Huge national exposure. Now people from ALL OVER the country wanting to talk Bradley basketball. Where would they go? I suspect a search for a "bradley basketball fans message board" brought this board up more so than a Peoria Journal Star Sports Forums would.
So with an immediate influx of readers and subscribers, this board became the more "popular" hangout for Bradley Fans to visit.
And now we have a battle between the 2 boards? No - sorry.
Both boards aren't competing to be the place where fans hang out. Fans hang out here.
Whatever hangs out elsewhere are fans of other teams, people who have deservedly been banned from here, and some (like you, maybe) looking for a different perspective from others than here... plus the rest that are Tornado-Haters. It's amazing how some people let "tornado-hate" consume them. I find it quite comical actually.
Bradley hired a search firm so that info. would not leak out, Dr.Cross is not going to comment on interviews or anything else that has to do with hiring a new coach, a press conference will likely happen with the introduction of our new coach so until then anything we hear is pure speculation.
I think you are 100% right real fan. Anything that emerges about a candidate or a possible "interview" is almost certainly not coming from, or initiated by Bradley
I can't stand the PJstar...they never have anything good (and now anything truthful) to say about BU.
Maybe JL hasn't even really been canned.
Sort of off topic - was just talking to a buddy of mine (that doesn't post here) said that when he was walking through the parking deck at one of Peoria's fine downtown hotels last week (Wednesday) he saw a gentleman getting out of his car in a black track suit with a big UNC Tarheels logo on the chest. He had on glasses, a hat, and was carrying a clipboard. He looked very much like a coach.
Could have been in town for the sectional games or I suppose...an interview. Didn't Cross say he was going to interview folks as early as last Wednesday.
Would you go to interview wearing gear from current job?

Last I checked, the other board's main goal is to talk about this board, mostly by people who are no longer welcome on this board. "The purge" made this board 100 times better, but made the other one 100 times worse. No reason to go there anymore.
