Bradley's new coach is Brian Wardle

[ollienanyes]

Ironically, I saw Wardle's team lose to Geno Ford's BU team in the 2013 CBI

I also saw his team lose to ISU red in the NIT this year.

Lots of links to articles in the national sports media- take your pick-

Over 300 people online at this moment- could we approach the all time record?
It shows how much passion Bradley fans still have!

First big move of the Chris Reynolds era. Hope that Brian coaches so well that we'll be looking for his replacement in a few years. Unless of course he'd like to make BU his last coaching stop. Looking forward to seeing what happens. Go Brian and go BU!

I really didn't have a preference after Grant There were a few I didn't want really but I had faith in CR to make as good as choice as possible

Welcome to Bradley coach Wardle

[Da Coach]

Let's hope Wojo is successful at Marquette, because there were a lot of people I know there who wanted Wardle as the coach to replace Buzz Williams a year ago.

I don't know if this has been discussed already, but is this stuff a major concern?

Yes, their top player Keifer Sykes, was a Mac Irvin player. He also has a great relationship with the Illinois Wolves, the other top AAU program in Illinois that produces a huge number of D1 players. Another one of Wardle's players, Greg Mays, was from the Illinois Wolves.

Congrats Brian unfortunately you have a lot of work to do. Let the chopping begin we need more than one newcomer next year .

I think if it was CR would have passed on him??¦..

[Da Coach]

Everyone at Bradley, including Chris Reynolds was fully aware of that situation. Wardle was completely exonerated of any abuse or wrongdoing, other than his choice of words which offended some easily-offended people. It was a non-factor.

Having read the report it's a little surprising that in this PC era that Wardle got off with a slap on the wrist. And I agree with Lefty that CR wouldn't have hired him if this was a bigger deal.

Hope it works out....ready for a turnaround of the program and hope it's enough to keep JC here!

I am also hearing the discussions included his assistant coaches. He will be bringing 1 or more assistants with him from UWGB.


Here are his assistant staff-

One assistant coach from the previous staff is usually retained for at least one year to help with the transition. I wonder if that will be the case for Bradley and who it would be.
