    Bad CBS Telecast

    I can't believe how bad the CBS telecast of the NC/Zag finals game is!! While the four analysts are very good, CBS doesn't use them very much at all. The pregame was primarily rock music and commercials with very little basketball analysis of the teams and players. Virtually every clock...

    New Illinois Coach

    EGIB 52.....To answer your question, my primary reason for thinking Ill. acted too fast is that there are a large number of very good coaches available and more on the way. Instead, the Ill. A.D. reportedly selected his 3rd or 4th option very quickly when with a little patience, I feel he might...

    MVC Weakness

    Wessler is 100% correct in his article today on the MVC. IMO, President Roberts and Chris R. Need to take some action and provide some strong leadership toward a plan that will quickly move the MVC back to being a leading Mid Major conference. If this is not done, BU should begin to look at...

    1953-1954 Basketball Schedule

    While cleaning out some bookcases, I ran across my old Bradley Student Handbooks which included the 1953-1954 Basketball Schedule. Here it is: 12/1---Illinois State..................At Peoria 12/8---Purdue University...........At Peoria 12/11--Duquesna University......At Pittsburgh...

    Maintenance??

    IMO Bradley should temporarily drop the maintenance charge for season tickets. The product they are putting on the floor is so bad to watch that fans are leaving by the droves. Ticket renewals are down and will continue to drop. Once we reach (if ever) a steady 18 to 20 wins per season, the...

    Change...

    DaCoach..... I agree 100% with you that something is obviously wrong with the Bradley program and major changes are needed or we will not recover. FIRST OF ALL: Our coaches are simply not getting anything done to change what is happening. Recruiting stinks. All we seem to get are 12 PPG high...

    Recruiting???

    Our total recruiting philosophy, strategy, & program must change or we will never rebuild the BU program back to what it once was. Here's what we must do, IMO: 1. Completely revamp and upgrade our evaluations of prospective players. 2. Look for recruits who are hard nosed, tough, can shoot, and...

    Television?

    Bobby Parker....We need regular TV of road games. If we are to build the BU basketball program, we must have TV coverage. ESPN3 is not the answer. Wizard

    Recruting

    All else aside, it has now become obvious that our primary problem, BY FAR, is the talent, strength, skill, & toughness of our players. With a couple of exceptions, we have not recruited players that are MVC or higher quality players. Our guys look like low level Divn 1 nice boys and no matter...

    Too Much Substituting?

    Players need to understand their role on the team and accept it. Not every player is a scorer, a shooter, a defensive stopper, etc. Our players do not seem to have established roles and they do not seem sure of their position on the team. We keep changing starting line-ups and we...

    Ugly...but...a WIN!

    Too many mistakes. Cross court passes are a big NO-NO! Versace hated them and told his teams to not do them. We should do the same. Shooting was good but we need better and quicker ball movement on offense. Must learn to take care of the ball!! Free throws are still terrible. On balance...

    Better!

    Much better today....Especially late in 2nd half. Showed improved toughness inside----Lets keep working on this. Bigs need help on going to the hoop strong on "crip" shots. We hung in there late and won. Wiz

    Fergie

    Saw Ron Ferguson at the game last night. Talked to him for some time. He's lost some weight but otherwise seemed well. He lives in Naples, Fla. and Peoria alternating between both places. It really brings back a lot of memories. Fergie was a great A.D.....He hired Versace. He knows Chris R...

    Jerome Merrit

    Jerome Merrit can't be too bad. Rivals has him as a 3 star and our coaches think enough of him to go to Fla. for a private workout. Somehow, I suspect that we may get a "surprise" of some kind yet this spring. If we don't, I agree that we should hold 2 scholarships for next fall. Wiz

    Scholarships Open?

    If I am correct, here's our scholarship situation.... We have one scholarship open plus K-Darrel and Shaw graduating which is three scholarships. If two people leave the team, this is two more for a total of five. We have committed four (Koch Bar, Nate K., D. Brown, and Jaden H.) which...

    Post Season Banquet and summer promotions

    The suggestions by t regarding a post season banquet and summer promotions are right on target! Maybe t should be our promotion director. Seriously, it seems to me that this kind of stuff is something an Athletic Council consisting of a few fans to provide advise, suggestions, and help to...
