Yep. I liked him. I thought he was a good coach that got a really bad hand this season.

Perhaps it's time for a change at Bradley, but fate kind of dealt Coach Les a crappy hand this year.

I actually thought he did a pretty good job holding that team together and having them finish 6-4 in their last 10 games.

I had nothing against him until the game against us here in Wichita. The way that team played was appalling and that is when he should have gotten the boot.

Okay dofo...........Post: Marshall to Bradley

Seems like he got the short end. With all the injuries he never had a chance this year. The Valley needs good coaches.

Can you remind me what happened?

I believe Brown goes down then Maniscalco goes down.

I think what Rosewood was referring to was Les's decision to let the air out of the ball and not even look for a shot until the shot clock had run down below 10 seconds.

In Les's defense I'm sure he believed that was his only hope to keep the game close.

1. Never finished above 4th in the league
2. There were fans calling for his resignation before he got the S16, which only bought him a reprieve for a few years.
3. In the last couple of years, the Braves were struggling to stay in the top half of the league.
4. BU got an assistant coach to come out of retirement for a year. that was the S16 year, and BU's in-game strategies were different. When that coach retired again, BU reverted to their pre-S16 ways.
5. BU's budget is close to WSU's, so expectations are that they should be getting a little more bang for the buck than Les is providing.
6. The fans are tired of him.

Does this make Marshall the "dean of the Valley".

I think it's Lowery, if he still has a job.

its always terrible when coaches employ a strategy that could possibly result in their team winning a game. those kinds of ideas are unacceptable and should result in immediate termination.

Im sad too, I liked him.

Until he leaves in the next couple of weeks.
