Jim Les has hired former Bradley point guard, Willie Scott to fill the last opening on his staff. Willie Scott has been working as the head coach of Malcolm X Junior College in Chicago for the last couple of years and amassed a winning record there. Prior to coaching at Malcolm X, Coach Scott was a successful businessman who ran his own custom clothing business. Before that he played professionally in the CBA, Argentina, Italy, and Spain for 14 years. His college playing days were before my useful memory (though I was alive) but most accounts had him as a quick point guard with good defense-- he was known as The Roadrunner. As a coach it seems like he'll be in the "circle of trust" as he's part of the Bradley family and it's expected that his ties to Chicago high schools from his JUCO coaching days could help us in the Chicago region. Welcome aboard, Willie! This concludes an offseason that I think was a major upgrade to our coaching staff.
This post over at Bradleyfans contains a lot of detail and numerous links regarding Willie Scott.
