No. Nobody here claims to have all the answers. But we are entitled to opinions. The PJS is not always right, they are not immune from criticism, and they are not so elite to be the only ones entitled to have an opinion, though some might think so.

The spirit of your post is refreshing.

my criticism is simple...
when the Athletic Director was fired...

Honest question here...I thought KK left of his own volition. Is that not the case? He interviewed for the FGCU job and upon accepting was going to honor his contract with BU through the end of May.

His now former employer decided they'd rather just part ways and from my recollection it was mutual.

Did I miss something?

He was informed his contract at Bradley would not be renewed, and thus he sought the other job. I guess it could be seen as "firing", or not depending on how you look at it.

[LG281]

Fair enough.

If the secret service's job is to take the bullet, then what's wrong with that?

What is wrong with this aspect in the corporate world, is that this usually leads to a lack of creativity for new ideas, inefficient use of your staff, and employee turnover.

Won't panic until the 15-30 day window post JL has expired. 74% of those responding to an earlier poll question felt it would take more than 15 days to name a replacement.

Potential coaching candidates may be intimidated by the strong personalities on this Forum and don't want to face their music if they don't meet their expectations once on the job! This Forum is way tougher than the PJS

I agree , when is the board going to put a stop to all of this nonsense as so many great Bradley people have been run off because of one person.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. This statement is so true. Remember that some of the changes changes were made during the MONTHS we went without an Athletic Director. Or when she made KK a lame duck.

I agree that, if given a real chance, Cross has the potential to do good things at Bradley. I also agree that he may not have known what was ahead of him when he came here. However if he we end up going through as many AD's as Eastern Kentucky had to.... that would be bad.

I'm getting the feeling that no matter what the local newspaper publishes, it will never be good in some people's eyes. Oh wait, that's because it's true.

I learned a long time ago to use IMO. I know from past personal experience about the Urinal Star's truthfulness.

This forum is tougher because most of us are real Bradley fans.

I don't know anything about the inner workings of anything, but I hope they make a good hire. Everyone is watching.

And I believe in there is an implied guarantee of a conference championship with the next coach?

If they do, they are not the man for the job.

Has anybody heard anything at all regarding Todd Lickliter and the BU position? I seriously would've thought that his name would've been on a short list of "statement" candidates. I know that his overall record and accomplishments at Butler have been mentioned here before (as well as his failures at Iowa) - just seems to me that he'd be a good get. I hear that he may be in the running to replace Dave Balza at FGCU - and while I could understand his desire to be in a beautiful location along Florida's gulf coast, I would think that Lickliter is a competitor and would have a hard time adjusting to basketball at that level. I wouldn't suspect that he's hurting for money, but FGCU was only paying Balza $105,000 per year!
