Dave Reynolds....Will Bradley keep playing?

I guess the only "Facts" that are important to me are Bradley's record the past four years:
................................Season*.......MVC
2006-7.......................21-12.........10-8
2007-8.......................17-15..........9-9
2008-9.......................18-14.........10-8
2009-10.....................16-15..........9-9

*Excludes Post Season

These results may be enough/satisfying for some, but not for me.
I don't really care about 'why'....At the start of each of these years I read about how great the players and new recruits were. At the end of each of the last four years I read about all the excuses some fans (fanatics?) put out as to why the team came up short during the season and the MVC Tournament.

If some of the posters like JL and his program and are ok for him to stay as long as he wants, regardless of the outcome, I won't try and change your opinion. I am just not one of these posters.

After watching the program under JL for 8 years, I think I have seen what we can expect. If BU can't move to the top of the MVC/MVC Tournament next year, when everything should be in BU's favor, I don't see it happening under the current management in the future. Either BU needs better asst coaches, or better coaching, or better recruiting, or a better system, or just better luck. Whatever. This isn't personal. I am sure JL has worked hard, tried his best, and his loyalty is beyond approach. It is about trying something different to achieve even better results.

Hopefully that doesn't make me a 'Hater' or unnecessarily negative, unworthy of posting. Or to be challenged to name someone better than JL, in other people's opinion...

PS....My posts aren't any less constant/repetitive in opinion as JL supporters' posts are of their opinions about BU's performance and JL's future. :-P

I am just a fan of BU Basketball like everyone else, but perhaps not a fanatic: "a person marked or motivated by an extreme, unreasoning enthusiasm, as for a cause." ;)
 
I started going to BU games when they were playing in the Armory and went to all the games in the Fieldhouse. As kids we didn't need to have a t-shirt or have any half time show to enjoy the game and be rabid Bradley fans. In those days you could cheer all you wanted without being interupted by commercials and worthless announcements and the band and cheerleaders could do their job. I still enjoy the games that I make it to and like to go to lobby at halftime and discuss what's going on in the game with friends. IMO, it's what you make of it. Of course a few more wins would help, but that statement doesn't make us Jim Les haters. IMO, the only ones I would consider haters are the ones who didn't like the hiring in the first place and had their personal choice who didn't get the job.

Ha Chico, when you get back we need to get togather for golf, beer, or just to talk or all of it:lol: Anyway I have a couple of the give away BU T-Shirts, I was able to get for you. Let me know when you are back. Take Care
