Willie Scott officially named Assistant Coach

Welcome back to the Hilltop "road runner" and the fun should be starting as what a combination of JL and WS to teach out point guards. As w/ any team the pg is where all plays are run through and they should be able to bring out the best in our guards.
 
Welcome back Willie Scott.

I personally do not care about the connect to Bradley, just like I do not care about a guy being from Peoria.

What I do care about is connections to Chicago and getting back in with the talent in that city. Lemon was a great step in that direction. Hopefully Willie Scott can start opening up more Chicago talent doors for Bradley.

This concludes a tremendous upgrade of our coaching staff. Jim Platt who brings more experience than the rest of our staff combined and knows how to teach D and Wille Scott with strong Chicago connections is exactly what we needed. Our assitants are finally on par with the rest of the Valley. I think these guys will be the best recruits from this off season.

Great posts... All I can say after this is welcome back to Bradley Willie Scott!:)
 
Glad to have WS back, I loved watching him play and think he will do some great things in his new roll. As someone else said, get MO on campus and everything is in place. How about winning the MVC the first year we are in the new facilities..........
 
The thing that makes me happy about hiring Willie instead of Tracy Webster is the fact I would think he would be more likely to stay for a while. I realize there is no guarantee he doesn't move on, but I can almost guarantee Webster would have been a one year or two max deal.
 
Very happy to have Willie Scott back at BU. He seems perfectly suited (no pun intended) for this role. I'm anxious to see what kind of talent from Chicago we land in the next few years. We were at our best when Chicago was our recruiting hub.

Have to agree w/ the recruiting of Chicago and WS can spend the time and, I am sure, has the ties to find the sleepers that are in Chicago.

I agree. We need more players like Sam Maniscalco. If we can get hard nosed players with talent like that consistently we would be sitting good. Chicago has a lot of talent that could end up at BU.
 
It was nice to see all the coaches including Willie were on hand when I dropped off my son at Basketball camp today. The only one I didn't see was KV but he may have been on hand also.
 
With Willie on board I think we're in a much better position to recruit Chicago than we have been at any point in the Les era. I look forward to some positive results in the very near future.
 
I don't really know about this guy and his career at BU - really started following Braves hoops in early '90's, but knew about some of the Braves in the late '80's.
Seems like a good guy to have with a lot of character and genuine care for young men. I hope he can be an influence on TB, as us Braves fans expect 0 suspensions this year...from anybody on the roster! :)
 
I don't know what took me so long to reply about this, guess I was busy following the Blackhawks! Willie is one of my all-time favorite Braves, really enjoyed watching him play. He's a great addition to our coaching staff :-D and the players are going to have fun/and learn working with him!
