Willie Scott left Bradley to be the head coach at Chicago Dyett High School...

now Dyett just updated their IHSA web page and they appear to have a different head basketball coach, and coach named Anthony Kirkland..

I can't find much about Kirkland - appears he played at Kennedy-King juco

I have heard that Willie has a lucrative offer to coach in Argentina, where he still has strong connections, but he is not likely to take it because it would take him away from his family too long.

Willie Scott is now coaching the Chicago Steam - and unless that changes Central Illinois fans can catch him nearby...

The Steam have released their 2013-14 schedule...
and they play the Midwest Flames in Peoria TWICE - on December 3, & December 18.

The Steam also travels to the Bahamas and play against the Bahamas All Star in early December - maybe they can get some scouting film from Bradley!

The Midwest Flames play their home games currently at the Woodruff High School gym...and they begin their home schedule on November 2.

Willie Scott and his Chicago Steam are up and running and off to a good start, undefeated (5-0)
their two stars are Larry Dumas (ex-WIU Leatherneck) and Mitch Anderson (son of BU great Mitchell JJ Anderson)
