    I wish him luck. I liked Les, but he just couldn't get over the hump at Bradley. The injuries of the past year didn't help him at all.

      Les looks like a California guy.

            Me too. I thought Bradley should have given one of their own another year considering all of the injuries they had.

              I don't think that Les was fired for last year's record. There had been a lot of pressure building for a number of years about them under performing compared to their talent level. If anything, I know a lot of people that wanted him gone were worried that the injuries last year would keep him from being fired because the year's woes would be excusable.

              I'm not convinced one way or another whether he should have been fired. He seems like a good guy and was a good representative for the school, but other than getting hot at the end of the season and making a Sweet 16, his teams did under perform and he was out-coached in a lot of games. His teams were rarely bad, but rarely as good as you would expect from the talent he recruited.
