Questions to ask the coach #1

[Big Mike]

Any chance of getting a player on every show again? I miss the old days when a player did the show with JL and a listener got a perspective of how the player liked BU, what brought him here or anything else a player might say....much more interesting at this point of the season when JL and DS have already answered the same question time and time again!

Amen!!!

I also like to ask about how we go about creating our schedule and if we have been rebuffed by any big schools the last few years to do even a (1-1 and neutral) or even a 2-1 besides Bruce Webber!

All my other questions are already there.

Any chance the Braves will schedule a holiday tournament, such as Hawaii, between Christmas and New Years Day next season?

Has Les had any conversations with Pattrick O'Brien regarding his future?

[Buesch N Chips]

You guys, they are never gonna put a paragraph long question on the show.

Is it tough to find time to work with redshirts during the season? How do you balance their needs with the needs of the players that are actually getting minutes?

[MacabreMob]

How do you (Coach Les) adjust for the 2nd 1/2 of the MVC? Do you create new plays? Do you change the name of plays (to throw off the opponent)? And would you disclose them with the local media so we know what is going on?

[Fyrebyrd]

is there a way to clone and/or manufacture super basketball players?

[ser_solace]

One of the funniest things I see from Coach Les when he's on the sidelines is his squatting into his sumo-style stance. I'm just impressed he can sit like that for so long. So, I guess my question is, when did he first start doing it and what have other folks' reactions been to seeing him sit like that for the first time?

I imagine it must be pretty unique among coaches.

[BU ICEMAN]

As far as scheduling goes, does BU have a general policy of trying to stay within the region, i.e., the midwest, for away games? I don't remember seeing a lot of games voluntarily scheduled on either coast. Would love to see BU come out East and whup up some of the "quality" squads out here, especially Gary Williams and the T(w)erps!

Thanks coach and Dave Snell for setting this up, awesome idea guys!

What position do you see Will Egolf and Anthony Thompson playing in the future ; at the 3 the 4 or the 5?

Coach....has AT gained any weight since the start of the season? How much do you think he will weight for the start of next season?:

I'm not Coach Les or anything BM , but on his last coaches' show I believe that he said AT has gained something like 15 pounds since he has been on campus.

Freshman 15.

Two Questions:


How do you delegate the coaching responsibilities among you and your staff in areas such as scouting, coaching frontcourt and backcourt players, recruiting, and the implementation of offensive and defensive schemes?


What do you look for in a person when you decide to recruit him to play at Bradley?

[Grassman]

Coach,
Do you plan on coming back next year?

Anthony had actually gained around 15 pounds before fall classes began, just by being on campus for the summer sessions and working with the weight/conditioning guys. He may have gained a bit more by now, but he is still thin.
