The Sky Is NOT Falling

I was not worried until I saw the NIU info. I am OK if they get Lusk. I would be disappointed if we settled on RG. But I would give him some time and see how he does.

What else can we do? I am content to see how this plays out. But surely even you have to be getting a little concerned?

I know for certain that the admins are in damage-control mode, and are meeting 1 on 1 with the top donors and not hearing what they wanted to hear. They are working feverishly to keep the team together, but grossly underestimated the effect their firing would have. And now Northern Illinois is set to hire Paul Lusk for about half what we tried to throw at Rob Jeter. Even Pollyanna would start to get a little worried.

Uh then I suggest you put on the big boy pants and either consider your future investments and walk away or deal with what the future will hold like some of us...


Btw, just for mention, I absolutely despise Giacoletti...BUT I will give him a chance if that's who we go with

Seriously, at what point would you consider the sky to be falling?
Because I think it could be just around the corner.

We just finished last in the Valley and have lost 4 straight to bad ISU teams. Based strictly on on-court performance, I think the sky has fallen.

But I will admit, until we get a coach and stabilize this roster, I can't totally disagree with your last line. This next hire will make or break us.
 
Jeter turning BU down is pretty embarrassing. I went to the road game in Milwaukee a couple years ago and unless that program has gone through some major changes, BU and UWM don't seem close. Im pretty biased though.

I would probably be better off if I were like some on here and didn't feel like the sky was falling. But I need to hear some good news, and fast

It is far more realistic to believe that he made a couple calls, evaluated the situation, and decided he's better off in Milwaukee earning half as much.

Jeter is far from the only coach to turn Bradley down.
 
I know I am not all-knowing like some are, but if I remember correctly, the last time BU hired a new coach, people withdrew from consideration as well, and JG was not President and we hired JL- what gives?

Hmmm...

I am also fascinated by all the conjecture about why people turn BU down, and how it is passed off as fact..

And while I don't doubt that some at BU may be talking with top donors, I hardly think there is a steady stream or a line outside the President's door demanding to be heard...

JL is a treasured alum, and many feel mad about how he was let go... All this vitriol isn't gonna change that- and if your desire is to see Bradley fail, I would say job well done!
 
Wow, I feel like I've entered the Bizarro World of Bradleyfans. It's like everything is flipped on it's head, positive is negative and negative is positive. The big problem in this black & white universe is that truthfully nothing is black & white, just multiple shades of gray!!! :)
