Looks like Damon James has left as an assistant coach.

With coach Wright's ties to Bradley, why doesn't he ask Jim Les or A.J. Guyton to join him? Talk about two really good guards back in their days. Jim had success at Bradley, and A.J. can be a really good recruiter to the Peoria area which is territory WIU should be really exploring. Not all good talent comes from Chicago and the burbs.

Pretty sure Les isn't going to give up his head coaching position to come be an assistant here.

Jim Les has been the head coach at UC-Davis since 2011.

I think the Coach Wright is doing all he can to keep a staff here at this point. Not sure exactly what's going on, but there's certainly some smoke appearing from the MBB wing of Western Hall. Though he's still listed on the website, I believe Coach Vershaw and his family have moved out of the state as well. I hope some of this turnover and unrest doesn't carryover to the team as I think we are all anxious to see some improvement over last year's results.
