The Cats need a jack of all trades coach - Ball handling, free throw shooting and shooting. My hope was that CWM would handle the ball handling and maybe we will see major improvement this year. If so, big man help and of course recruiting.

Bradley meets all of Brendel's parameters: Current SEC assistant. Prior assistant at Marquette (two stints). Followed Tom Crean to IN as the Hoosiers' top assistant for nine years. He also was head coach at Ball State for six years between the Marquette stints.

Was well-liked at IU during his time with Tom Crean. Well-traveled and experienced. Can confirm the “Shot Doctor” nickname.

Met him once at a Loveland/Mason game in 2009.
