This is a great story with some revealing interviews...
you gotta read it but here are a few lines...
Willie Scott...on the 1982 NCAA snub
"Scott said the focus the team had evolved into a grudge to somehow prove they belonged.
“We had a chip on our shoulder, and we felt that, again, we had been mistreated,” Scott said. “We took it out on every team that we played.”
Mitchell Anderson...
“I want to coach college,” Anderson said. “I don’t care where it’s at. If possible, I would be more than honored to coach Bradley, because me and Bradley have something special.”
Regarding Willie Scott...
"Scott, who has already been an assistant coach at Bradley, left when Jim Les was fired in 2011. That split left a strained relationship between Scott and Bradley faithful.
“They hired Geno [Ford], and that was a very uncomfortable situation for me,” Scott said. “A lot of people at Bradley thought I just kind of kicked them to the curb and let them down by leaving, but what they didn’t understand was [how] I felt.”
Scott said that, in the future, he would hope Bradley considers him for a head coaching position.
“I love Bradley,” Scott said.” I love the Peoria community. I love the fans, [and] I miss them. I would come to Bradley in a heartbeat.”
"We didn’t take s**t from nobody,” (Mitchell) Anderson said. “Donald would beat Mike Williams’ butt, Thirdkill could beat Hersey Hawkins, and I don’t know who could stop me.”
