Bradley gives Les the boot

[BirdmanBB]

now your talking. Maybe put a little marconi on that beef too. (Chitown should know what I am talking about)

so.....

all for moving the MVC tourney to Chicago so you can all enjoy our native foods say I.

did I mention the polish sausage too? (it's dinner time) Dont give me that KC bar-b-que garbage. we got every style in chicago.

[tribecalledquest]

Kansas City and St Louis?

KC yes, STL no. Three and a half to STL I get your point..but KC ain't Chicago.

Also Tulsa and NW Arkansas are within two and a half hours from Springfield as well.

And Chicago ain't anything special, just a bunch of pretensious upper Midwesterners than wish they were NYC or LA.

Well...that and about 40-5 D1 players in the area each year. Obviously not as many as NW Arkansas produces but still not bad

This guy thinks Keno is headed to Peoria:

Word is Bradley will hire Keno Davis.

There's nothing else other than that single sentence.

I would be shocked if they did. Utterly shocked.

Reportedly, BU is prepared to have interviews tomorrow already.

So that leads me to believe guys currently not working like Lickliter and Gottfried would be the type being interviewed now.

So, just curious about who BU has interviewed so far, Squirrel?? I read someplace (maybe on their board?) that they hired a search committee---but do you think their Pres/AD have already conducted interviews (as you report) and have their boy waiting on ice??

Dane Fife of IPFW was in Indianapolis today meeting with the Bradley Brass, or at least that was what the local sports radio news update was spewing.

I love Dane Fife as muchas anyone. Not sure how well he will handle the jump in competition...right now from the gist of his recruiting I get he is basically living off the fact that he is Dane Fife...Just sayin' may not be the right time for Dane Fife...

Not surprising. I wouldn't read into this any more than he's applied and is being considered. I personally think they're going to go with someone a bit more experienced, but we'll see. I also think some of the people they'd like to have conversations are preparing for games this week.

Not sure I understand why anyone would question the "jump in competition?" He was a top high school player and probably knows a thing or two about basketball talent. The guy played "high" D1 basketball, coached "high" D1 basketball, and is now coaching D1 basketball:

"Fife played basketball and football for Clarkston High School in Clarkston, Michigan. In basketball, he was coached by his father, Dan Fife. After his senior season in 1998, he was named Mr. Basketball of Michigan over runner-up Antonio Gates,[2] and was also named a McDonald's All-American and Parade All-American. A blue-chip recruit in basketball and also a star quarterback, Fife was recruited to play both sports in college. He ultimately committed to play basketball for Indiana University under head coach Bob Knight. He chose Indiana over Duke and Michigan, where his father had played baseball and his older brother Dugan had played basketball. Fife became a vocal supporter of Knight[3], and nearly transferred from the team following the coach's firing in 2000.

"Fife spent two seasons as an assistant coach to Mike Davis at Indiana University before becoming the Mastodons head coach. During his time as an assistant, he concurrently earned a master's degree in athletic administration."

Point was that Idk if he will be able to recruit players at a high enough level...I mean he is at the summitt league which is a bit different than the MVC...I would just think he needs a little bit more time in the oven before he jumps up to the MVC...not enough experience.
