Long college careers...

Bradley has definitely been associated with a couple of the longest college careers in history..

-first - we've had TWO 6th year guys recently - Sam Singh & Will Egolf

-then we were Daniel West's first school that he chose back in 2008 when he graduated from high school in Michigan, and now seven years later - he's STILL playing for Texas A&M Commerce - which just knocked off Texas Tech in an exhibition last night
By season's end he will have played over a 7-year college career - much of it at juco & DII.

- but the winner is former BU signee Sean Harris...
he graduated high school in 2007 - this is now his 8th year "of college" - although 2 years were a mission and one was just dilly-dallying & preparing for his mission.
...so how'd get 8 years, two of which were at Yuba?


And as discussed elsewhere - Bradley does indeed have a pretty bad record of the way we treat our head basketball coaches...

Bradley's record going back 40 years has been unfortunate, but they just have NOT stood behind their coaches...
With a track record like this - ya gotta wonder if the job looks as good to candidates as it should...

Joe Stowell still wanted to coach when the program was essentially torn out of his hands...and it happened again a couple years back - and even if both cases were justified, they could have been done in a better manner.

Versace, of course, had committed a couple of incredibly minor discretions - but he wouldn't kiss-*** to the NCAA bullies and wouldn't cooperate - so despite zero evidence they claimed he was not honest - but again our admin chose NOT to stand by him so he told them to take their job & shove it - and has done quite nicely ever since. I agree with Chico - this was a situation where we could have pulled together, stood by DV and weathered the issues, and who knows...

Albeck was canned pretty unceremoniously and has never - and likely will never be back

Molinari firing might have been the harshest. Everyone knew he had a couple great recruiting classes in a row, and when he met with Broski was assured he'd get at least another year to see how he'd do with the solid young group.
Less than a week later - he read in the newspaper that the admin had bowed to the pressure from Phil Theobald & others - it was a hard way for him to find out.
He has also done quite nicely since then...and despite all the bad teams he's coached since then and made better - you don't see many 25 point blowouts!

JL, of course, was thrown down the garbage disposal on a Sunday morning after his only losing season in the prior SIX - only to read about it on a Chicago website a couple hours later.
