Look up the history of army basketball . Since coach K they have absolutely stunk. Spiker has done more there than any other coach they ve had. 19 wins this year is an amazing job. Losing in a conference tournament can happen to anyone. His overall body of work is solid. Once again, if JMU is not going to step up they might as well keep Brady. Spiker will eventually get a bigger job and i bet hes successful there.
That's Dukester's entire rationale for firing Brady. That and his feelings are hurt.
Brady is light years better than anyone JMU has ever had not named Campanelli and Driesell. And I don't think there's another Driesell (HOF coach wanting to coach a mid major) sitting around ready to hire.
Honestly I don't know much about Spiker. But I did watch their game Sunday and it was a mess. But I admit it's just one game.
Maybe Steve Wojciechowski will get sick of freezing his a$$ off in Wisconsin and want to come back to the DC area. It'd be worth the pay/risk to land an up and comer from a strong coaching tree with recruiting ties to the Mid-Atlantic.
Sick bunch of folks..... Very sick.... You just don't understand.... We are not Duke, we are not VCU and we are not Gonzaga. We are not going to be either. We have a lousy AD who is controlled by a ding dong of a Vice President, under a weak President. We will never funnel the money or support to hoops... If we get a Mark Few we will turn our back on him and give him a one year deal and he will leave.... We have no leadership. Brady if not for his lame Duck year and failure of administration to give him ANY support would have taken our program higher... When your AD and VP hate his guts for really no reason and don't support him and just deal with him because he wins enough then he never takes us to the next level.... Fix the real problem... Or just go back the 5-23 or 6-26.

Such a good coach that less and less fans are willing to come see. Such a good coach that can't even get to the semis in 7 out of 8 years.
Three more years of greatness and attendance could be down to 2,500
When your administration and fan base has given ultimatums before a vital tournament game that effects your lively hood you doom your program, (DUKESTER) university, coach and players. Not that anyone EVER thinks of the players.... Its all about screwing over the coaching staff... Fundraising and making piss poor decisions. Bourne and King will continue to destroy our basketball program until they are removed. I don't care if for some reason Coach K moves to JMU or Gary Williams emerges from retirement or Pops moves from the Spurs... We will be average... We will be average.... We have to support our KIDS, our Coach, and our program... Not worry about $'s and Ego. It's a sick situation. Our fans are against us. Our admin is against us.... Its such a joke and it's very disturbing. I wish I had not made such a high pledge to the Duke Club this year as our admins will squander my funds over and over again.... What a waste anyways.... At least it is a tax deduction(for now). I made the commitment so I will honor it, but with Bourne and King in charge I will really have to rethink my donations for next year. I'm not Bruce Forbes(who is probably behind part of this fiasco) but I think my donation is significant. I am so sad and disturbed by the JMU Nation. I thought better of you guys... My fellow Alums and MBB Letter winners....

I give Lexduke credit for the courage of his convictions and I largely agree with his positions, although I might say things slightly more diplomatically (although not much). As I've stated before, this administration has never done Brady any favors. Sending out a signal that a guy will be fired absent winning the whole thing prior to last weekend was cowardly in my view. I'm sure that really helped the team perform...no pressure there. (This, after forcing the guy to recruit 6 players as lame duck earlier and then having to field a team with those players.)
I recall the impending firing going into the end of Year 4 of Brady's tenure and most pundits were incredulous, thinking it a big mistake. I'm sure the reaction by most sane, knowledgeable basketball people outside the JMU community might be the same this go-round as well. Imagine the conversation with prospective candidates regarding the opening. Why was Coach Brady let go after winning about 20 games three of the past four seasons, including participation in two NCAA tournament games? Answer: He just couldn't get the team to the next level. We're expecting yearly NCAA tournament runs with at least 25 wins and a third place finish in the 9th best conference in the country just isn't going to cut it, not even with the best rated team JMU had had in 20 years or so going into the CAA tournament. And what's the yearly pay for the job? About 300K a year. Does JMU offer player stipends? No, of course not. And what's the recent 20 year history of the program? Lefty Driesell was fired, followed by the firing of Sherman Dillard, Dean Keener and most recently, Matt Brady. And prior to Driesell? John Thurston was let go in about Year 3 of his tenure. As you can see, we consider it a very attractive position.

Outside of JMU nobody considers it an attractive position... We are LUCKY Matt Brady did..... We have these great ideas we are going to get successful NCAA tournament Coaches, or ACC/Big East assistants who make more than Matt Brady.... I mean if we want a Big South Head Coach or SOCO assistant we MIGHT have a shot... Plus they will see the lack of support of our administration. Let me tell you before anyone will take the Job they will call Dean Keener and Matt Brady, as Matt Brady called Dean Keener and Sherman Dillard. I am sure they will have lovely things to say about how kind and honest Charlie King and Jeff Bourne have been to them...(DISGUSTING TREATMENT TO BRADY AND BOLD FACED LIES TO KEENER) I am sure Matt and Dean will tell them how CRAZY they would be take the job... Some would still take it because its a raise from working at Longwood, Radford or High Point, most will realize it is career suicide to work for a failing athletic administration and look for the next job and likely get it.... Oh well.
Brett Reed of Lehigh goes for his 3rd NCAA appearance tomorrow night. Granted it's the Patriot League but an NCAA appearance on average every 3 years is pretty solid. I'm interested to watch how his team plays, the style of offense etc. Judging from the stats it seems like a pretty balanced team.
Also worth noting that he has a 3 star Freshman SG on his roster (from California) and a 3 star commit (PF from Christian Brothers in NJ) for next year. Only 2 transfers out of the program the last 4 years. Just a reminder he recruited CJ McCollum who helped them upset Duke a few years ago (as a 15 seed) and may have led Lehigh to another NCAA appearance if he hadn't broken his leg mid way through his Senior year.
On paper seems like a Mike Houston type hire to me- a guy who could do a lot with the relatively rich resources that JMU and the CAA affords him. He was rumored for the Northwestern job a few years back.

He is WAYYYY To smart to work for the likes of Charlie King and Jeff Bourne.... He can do WAY better... Or stay put and Win with the full support the fan base and Administration(it appears). At Madison he would lose the support the administration for simply purchasing the wrong brand clothing or not living in the house they chose for him...

They play in the Patriot league, he plays in a small gym- he's in his early 40s and although he was an assistant at Lehigh before becoming the head coach and I'm sure he has fondness for the University I think if JMU makes a run at him he would be likely to listen and trade the Lehigh Valley for Harrisonburg. Reed seems like he has a lot of energy and could be just the change that we need.
I was a big supporter of Brady's I still am but it's best for everyone that a change is made- probably good for the Admin too- for them to hear a new voice, be held accountable through a new coaching search to make the changes that need to be made for the program to be more successful.

He is a great coach!!!! Why on earth would he commit career suicide and work for Bourne and and King!!! Just makes zero sense!!!!!! They treat their coaches like Cattle, they lie to them, the don't have their backs.... Its a sad situation.... They put our coaches in positions to fail(NO CONTRACT). Blame Rose if you want it was Bourne and King and there cronies(an accounting professor whose name I forget).

I'm not trying to be a wise a** and I acknowledge that we were getting wind that Brady wasn't a favorite of the administration years earlier so they probably didn't do him any favors I just think at some point it has to reflect back on the coaching staff. 10 + minutes of no points in a win or go home game- game plan, energy level, personnel- it has to come back to the coach at some point.

Just to amend one of the things that I stated- the arena where Lehigh plays is actually pretty nice- it looks to have been built in 2008 and seats up to 6,000. They host Sesame Street Live Wrestling, etc there probably similar to how JMU envisions the new Convo. That said their attendance is on average just above 1,000 so I guess the lack of interest in JMU MBB is all relative. I think the relative support is better at JMU but obviously not something to puff your chest out about since Lehigh is a Liberal Arts/Engineering School in the Patriot League and JMU is a growing Public University in the Colonial. Just wanted to correct this point but if they pursue Reed I think JMU is obviously a step up for him across the board so I think he'd be excited to build on the 3,000+ avg attendance and launch a new arena.

do you want to expand on that as well?
when you say "unneeded pressure to perform"... there IS pressure. on players, coaches, etc. like it or not, college sports = business. it's not nice. it's money. it's business. maybe you can expand on the "unneeded" part because I would substitute with the word "inevitable" or "unavoidable".
lack of support for the head coach? in what way, specifically?
I'm not quite sure what "unnecessary disrespectful pressure" means, to be honest.
I look forward to your response. I respectfully ask that you not pull the "there are just things I know that I can't share" card, because that would be a cop out. I really want to learn what's going on if you know something.
Short of Charlie King or Bourne going into the locker room and telling players that they needed to win or Brady was out I'm not sure if there would be anything that I would consider unneeded pressure.

bingo. and them saying that would be pointless, because it's implied. these kids aren't stupid. they know that if the coach loses too much, he could be fired.
