Assistants getting hired as head coaches is the sign of a good coaching staff. Who was the last BU assistant that went directly from BU to a head coaching position? Tony Barone? Mo McHone? Nevertheless, the Jim Les coaching tree is beginning to bloom, and I wish all the best to Lennox.
BTW - It's too bad Duane burned that bridge at his alma mater...
EDWARDSVILLE, Ill. -- Lennox Forrester, the first Bradley assistant hired by Jim Les in 2002, has been named the seventh men's basketball coach at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville and was introduced at a press conference at his new school this afternoon.? Forrester replaces Marty Simmons, who was named the head coach at Bradley's Missouri Valley Conference rival Evansville last month.? Forrester and Simmons actually worked together as assistant coaches at Evansville for four seasons (1992-96).? After helping the Braves to 2006 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 and the 2007 MasterCard Invitational Sweet 16, Forrester inherits a team that played in the NCAA Division II tournament in 2005 and 2006, before finishing with a 15-12 record this past season.? Currently competing in the NCAA Division II Great Lakes Valley Conference, Southern Illinois-Edwardsville will make the leap to NCAA Division I status for the 2008-09 season.
This is off-topic, but is there any chance that when they get to D1 they could change their name to just University of Edwardsville or something? Not relishing two Southerns, or an SIU-C and an SIU-E out there.
