When will Assistant be Announced?

I have heard Eddie's name bantered around in regards to the Morton job.

I was gonna say...how could he leave our excellent baseball program and go to Morton's :twisted: ..then I realized he parted ways with our baseball team the year I left. I think he was still helping the pitchers though...

Kevin Brown?

yeah....has to be...


I just randomly threw out Eddie's name. I have no support whatsoever.


Does it seem like JC doesn't have much of a voice....He doesn't seem to say anything at all.
I like assistants who have a voice when the head coach is focusing on something else. I am not trying to breach post deletion but....I feel that our assistants are glorified statisticians...

I've heard JC brought a lot more to the table than some thought he would initially, especially in a role (basketball ops) where a lot of input usually doesn't come from. I think he'll be back.

JL - The Head Coach
Eric Buescher - Right hand man
Alvin Brooks III - Focuses mainly on recruiting?
Kyle Vogt - Additional assistant....focuses on guards..with Les?
JC - Edits game tapes...organizes everything to get team going?

Who is helping the bigs now that Merf is gone? Just Alvin?

I agree with JC being one of my favorite Braves as well, but if it's staff "experience" that people have a problem with, then why keep the most inexperienced "coach"? :confused:

Yes, but experience is overrated at times if the talent is there. JC displays the qualities to be a talented coach IMO, and BB said he has heard he did a very good job in his role as coach. Experience can still be added to the staff in other areas. Who knows JL's system and what he wants better than a guy who just recently played for him, so you could argue he's been gaining experience for his job since he's been here.

I know what you're saying and I have absolutely no problem with JC being on the staff and would hate to see him go elsewhere. At the same time, I would hope everyone else on the staff "knows JL's system and what he wants" as well. I was just wondering why it seemed to me like it was the inexperience of the staff that was bothering people, but the most inexperienced "coach" is the one that's most welcome to stay. I didn't know if it was simply because he used to play for Bradley?

If it can't be explained, just blame it on tornado and tornado-hate. :twisted: ;) :lol:

I think it's because he's in a role that's usually occupied by the least experienced person on a given staff, especially at a school the level of BU's. From what I have heard, JC contributed a lot more than your typical basketball ops guy would be expected to.

I don't know anything about what the assistant coaches do and how they are doing their jobs, I don't live close enough to the program or know anyone close enough to know this stuff.

JC is my favorite Brave since I have been alive, closely followed by Anthony Parker, and for me personally that is why I wish for him to be on the staff along with hearing that he has done a good job. So yes not a real reason to want someone on staff, but if I had heard he wasn't doing much I would think otherwise, but from observing JC from a distance I think he has the skills and qualities to do a good job.

So I don't know what we should do with the staff, so I don't pretend to think I know what is best. I do think an experienced guy wouldn't be a bad thing, but I trust JL knows what is best for him and the team. And if JL thinks we need an experienced guy, I don't necessarily think it should be the least experienced guy out first, but maybe the one if any that contributes the least. Also they all probably know what JL wants, but JC has had a chance to be on the court with it, which probably adds a different perspective, but I really don't know I'm just speculating.

Initially (After Merf), it was said Eric was moved from being the guards coach to the bigs coach with JL as the guards coach. Not sure about the long-term solution, though

I wonder if JC helps with recruiting? I mean wouldn't it seem cool if a former player who is still a young guy you can relate to came with the head coach on a visit....he could give the recruit details from first hand experience of playing at Bradley!

That made me laugh as well.:) I have heard the obvious rumor, but the other person I was thinking of is an excellent x's and o's coach whose family is very close to a person who has some influence with the BU program. I didn't think that this person was ready to be an assistant and glad that he was not part of a rumor.
