Jimmy Foster

Though it is not for me to question anyone's career choices, it appears both might have left for a great job opportunity at a bigger, football-playing school in bigger, richer conference. And I suspect a significant increase in pay also played a part.
If and when Bradley is in the market for another head coach, both could become candidates.

It is interesting to note that no MVC school has had a more stable coaching staff over the last 10 seasons than Bradley. Only Drew Adams (3rd assistant) and Jimmie Foster (one of Bradley's two Associate Head Coaches) have left in that time span.

Idk why people keep asking these questions, its always $$$$. Drew obviously got more money at Cincinnati, and Foster will get more at Colorado State. Simple as that. And like you said, it doesn't prevent either of them from being HC candidates at BU in the future either.

Agreed, it's a good sign that we have coaches leaving to bigger programs. It shows BW is bringing in good people.
 
Yes as much as I hate to see Jimmy go I can’t really blame him. Niko Medveds salary at Colorado state was 1.7 million this year which is much more than Brian’s and I am sure Jimmy is being paid a lot more than we could afford to pay him. It stinks but most of us would change jobs for a really really big raise and it is with a coach with whom he has a relationship.

Bingo. You hit the nail on the head houstonbrave. He probably wouldn't have left if it wasn't for the relationship he already has with Ali. The money is just a bonus!

I'm also hearing a rumor that Bradley Director of Basketball Operations Gavin Block will be heading to Drake on new head coach Eric Henderson's staff.

I am hearing that Bradley has hired a new DBO to replace Gavin Block. Hopefully, it will be made public soon, along with the other newly hired coaches. If it is the name I am hearing, he is from the Midwest, and is a street-smart guy with experience in administration, as well as a DBO and as a coach.
Now that the staff is completed, they can focus solely on recruiting.

Welcome to Bradley's new Director of Basketball Operations Kamrein Street (notice the intentional use of the term "street-smart" above).
