Chris Reynolds named new Bradley AD

[Buesch N Chips]

As I've said many times, it is a common business mistake to over-correct from previous leadership. That's all that happened here, and people felt slighted. Hopefully from here on out things will run smoothly.

The better programs have tradition.. Look at Notre Dame football...People still talk about the "Gipper and the " Four Horsemen". Too see where you are going you have to know where you came from.. Appreciate the foundation that was built by others

Bradley basketball has "tradition". The famous 5, Squeaky and the NCAA and NIT teams of the early 50's, the 1954 NCAA runner ups, the NIT championship teams of the early 60's, the NIT champs in 1982, Hersey and the 32-3 season in which they gave champion Louisville the closest game in the NCAA tournament, the defeating of Kansas and Pitt in the 2006 NCAA.

that may be the single biggest thing about Chris Reynolds - literally the first thing he says is that he knows about and honors Bradley's decades long tradition - and in fact he lived thru some of it and wants to be part of it....

The more I think about it the more excited I get! There's no doubt that CR is the right man for the job. Now just waiting patiently for the next move.

Darn good hire, and the one I was hoping for. Thanks for coming home Chris and thanks a ton for taking on the job :-) I hope the coaching hire is not anti-climatic, though

Here is a name to keep in mind- former teammate of Chris Reynolds, and maybe the only one who is in D1 coaching now, Calbert Cheaney-

Is he ready for a head coaching job?

one other teammate & friend of Chris' that was on that 1993 Hoosiers team that won 31 games - has also gone on to coach 7 years as a DI head coach and 10 more years as an assistant at a top program.
