Goodbye to Les

After 9 seasons, 5 of which being winning ones, Bradley made the decision to fire Jim Les just hours after the team was eliminated in the second round of the MVC Tournament.  I don't think anyone can say they were totally surprised by this, but I will at least concede that I didn't expect them to do it after this season, of all times. I honestly believed that, after having lost Taylor and Sam, Les would be granted some understanding and given another year to prove himself.  Especially considering that lots of freshman and sophomores got plenty of time and experience on the court this year.  You would have to expect this to set up a decent team next season.  But, as each day can go to show, college basketball is a lot of things, but never predictable!
