Report of Jim Les firing

[tornado]

Any chance Jim Platt will get the job so maybe we can keep some of these guys at Bradley?

R U serious?? You want to keep Platt so he can convince his recruits to stay?
BTW -- I will not be surprised if we do keep Jim Platt, I have already heard that is the case...

I talk to many many BU fans. I've never met any who ever hate Les.

Agreed. No one hates the guy. I don't know anyone who seriously dislikes him either. The only thing people hated was losing.

I can assure you nothing has been released or confirmed yet from the university. The rumor/leak didn't come from them.

I'm not saying the leak came from BU. Just that BP didn't have any hand in the decision or timing.

JL no longer works for BU. Told his players, and they might have wanted to tell people...

If you hate losing then you better find another hobby for the next 3-4 years.

Should be an interesting off season. Hopefully all due diligence is done and the right choice is made.

Because today is about the winner of the tournament, its their day in the spot light. You don't release big news like a coaching change on someone else's big day if you're classy.

Well.....I look forward to reading the BU press release TOMORROW.

I found another this year, so covered there. Thanks.

I know the BU students aren't the favorite people around this board, but I've been a BU fan since birth, I went to my first game as a two year old and now that I'm in Bradley, I have to see this. My senior year, next season, will be possibly worse then last year.

I just don't understand the problem with keeping Les for at least one more year with his seniors.

Anyways, I hope we look at Wayne McCLain or maybe when Bruce Pearl gets fired, he'll look at us as a mid major stepping stone back to major conferences

Ya this is much better.....

I also highly doubt the "dwindling attendance" problem will be solved in the immediate future.

I really hope both of these are jokes.

Please tell me your joking about Pearl! NO WAY I'd want this dirtbag here! And not only that, I don't want stepping stone coaches here anyway. He might have a couple of great years here, then what? We're back to square one anyway.

But he brings WAY too much baggage with him and we should be much better than that.

As long as the university doesn't release the information today, it's still a classy thing happening. How could they have possibly imagined this news getting out before tomorrow? :roll:

 

[houstonbrave]

If Bruce Pearl shows up they are not getting any of my money. He is not worthy of Bradley University. Winning is not everything, you have to behave with class, dignity and honesty and that coach has proven he is not capable or worthy of a decent job.

Pearl was a joke, but can Bradley really get someone good who would want to stay here long term???

that's going to be very difficult and if Glasser does, then she's amazing.

Ummmmm......because it's Peoria. If you sneeze on the south end they say bless you on the north end. News travels fast.

HA - it will become a full scale plummet. Maybe Joanne will be able to move down in the stands a bit or find a good camera zone seat.

putting a huge smiley face after something is the universal sign for a joke

This is the dumbest post of the day.

The season is over. The team has no head coach. The team will soon be half full. What team is there to support?

I will support the team when next season tips off like everyone else. Today I will NOT support a control freak.

THE SKY IS FALLING! THE SKY IS FALLING! I love personal attacks from "fellow fans". For what its worth I supported the one more year movement but now he is gone and its time to move on.
There IS a team right NOW and I do STILL support it
