Coaching Carousel

[BradleyBiz]

For those dual Illini/Bradley fans out there, Chester Frazier is leaving Champaign to join Devries at WVU.

This is very surprising to me given that Frazier is a UofI alum (his wife is too). Was there a connection to Devries? Maybe this provided him with a faster track to a head coaching job.

Rumors are revolving around a falling out with Underwood in regards to direction of the program.

BYU is hiring Phoenix Suns associate head coach Kevin Young

With BYU hiring from the professional ranks, that is basically the end of the coaching carousel. The players still in the transfer portal should start to make their final decisions

There are now 3 schools who have not filled their head coaching vacancies, all relatively low-major schools-

Florida A&M- Robert McCullum's contract not renewed; former UAB/Missouri/Arkansas/St. John's coach Mike Anderson rumored to be leading candidate
Mount St. Mary's- Dan Englestad resigned and took an assistant coach position at Syracuse

Chicago State, one of the last D1 teams to name a new coach, announces at 8:05 pm on a Saturday night that they have hired Scott Spinelli as their new head coach - https://www.gocsucougars.com/news/20...niversity.aspx

Spinelli has been an assistant coach at Chicago State for 1 season.
Good luck to him, he'll need it. Chicago State is one of the worst head coaching jobs in the country. They have been without a conference for the last 2 years, and next year, they will join the Northeast Conference. - https://sports.yahoo.com/chicago-sta...183200143.html

Here are where the teams in the Northeast Conference are located. Chicago State will be about 1000 miles from the other schools on average. (note: St. Francis Brooklyn will drop all athletics at the end of this school year and drop out of the NEC)

Yes, Chicago St has a bad record, but they lost a lot of close games and beat Northwestern at their home court. Then the Cats go to Purdue and win there. Go figure.

I watched that game. I was rooting for Jim Les. Disappointing!

little known fact...
Former Bradley star and NBA sharpshooter Jim Les played for Marathon in 1989 and went off for 32 against Penn State (Note item #8 )

also, both the Big Sky and the West Coast Conference are rumored to be looking to expand....with football being
an important consideration.

Jim Les also was the leading scorer to help Marathon Oil beat Illinois State and Bradley in preseason exhibition games in 1989,
