New thread for more questions for the coach (#3)

[Da Coach]

Keep the questions coming for Coach Les.

And listen to the Coach Jim Les radio show this Wednesday, at 6-7 pm. The show was moved to Wednesday this week because of the Tuesday game at Indiana State.

Junior college players.

Will he keep the numbers the same in the future or will he be bringing in more freshman?

Coach, how do you think Eddren Mccain will adapt to the college game given the large number of High School games that he has played against various levels of high school competition?

From what you have seen when you and your staff recruited Eddren Mccain, do you think we may be getting a more experienced player with a higher basketball IQ than the typical college freshman player?

I think a follow-up to that would be the added 'mileage' on Eddren's legs from playing 50+ games a year as opposed to the conventional 30 or so.

Any chance we could get a player on the radio show again.....it would be nice to get their take on college life.....BU....Peoria.....we need to hear from the newer players....Will E, David C, Anthony T, Ryan T, TCS....someone who hasn't been on the post game interviews!

Going into our 2nd game against Indiana State did our players know that we beat this team at home by making a lot more 2 point shots because we had trouble in the 1st half at home making the 3 also?

Some questions after last night's debacle -

1.) You said in the paper that 'We didn't show up'. Why is that? Who's responsibility is to ensure this team is prepared for all opponents, pays attention to detail, and gives the maximum amount of effort in both preparation and execution?

2.) Are there any players that are too comfortable in their roles who feel that they don't have to prepare as hard or pay as much attention prior to games?

3.) Is Sam Maniscalco hitting the freshman wall? His shooting has tailed off tremendously of late, and his perimeter shot looks flat and is short.

4.) Besides the addition of Anthony Thompson, is a big man that is ready to contribute immediately a recruiting priority for one of the final 2 scholarships?

Why do we continually shoot desperation 3's when we have as much time as 2 minutes on the clock in a one or two possession game. . .especially when we haven't connected all night?

[bu fan 9]

Why do we play Sam S every game?We should be playing Austin and Egolf more they are not getting any better sitting on the bench.

[bu fan 9]

How close are we in signing a big man?

[Lakeview Brave]

Does he still feel this is the most talented team he has coached?

[Dallas Brave]

Now that we have seen all the MVC teams at least once, and some twice, does JL think BU can win the tournament on the strength of good guard play and 3 point shooting or will BU's inside game (rebounding, points-in-the-pain, etc..) need to peak to balance out the guard play for the Braves to have a chance?

[Braves4Life]

Does he still feel this is the most talented team he has coached?

................and why?

[Murph]

Will Bradley ever win the Missouri Valley season championship again?
