There are many reasons why no D1 college has ever hired a Chicago high school coach, and I will predict Bradley doesn't now.
Can anyone recall a high school coach being hired as a D1 head coach in basketball in the last 25 years?
Dick Versace was a HS coach in Chicago (Gordon Tech) but I guess he didn't come directly from coaching GT to Bradley, he knew all the coaches in Chicago. His teams were loaded with Chicago players, many of our best ever. I imagine it would be the same for Robert Smith. I don't see why not

If I remember correctly, Dick went from Gordon Tech to SLU as an assistant, to MichSt as an assistant, and then to a community college as a head.
???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.??™
It can be done, let's hope it happens.
I think most people thought the quote about hiring a great coach meant it would be somone we all recognized as a great coach now. Maybe you are right.
This is one that I like! Capel is a good coach and succeed at the midmajor level before Oklahoma.
Would like to at least read about an interview or something about him. Haven't seen or heard anything!
Hopefully because we haven't heard anything means that he's the favorite!

How about Ernie Kent? Is he still unemployed? He probably still has some of that Nike money from his days at Oregon, so he'd probably work cheap. Speaking of his days at Oregon, Kent led them to seven post-season appearances in his 13 years as head coach - if he did that at Bradley, he'd probably get a couple of streets and a building on campus named after him.......
