SDSU’s Bradley Named Assistant Basketball Coach at Brigham Young

Charles Bradley, assistant basketball coach at San Diego State, has been named assistant to Roger Reid, the new coach at Brigham Young.

“He’ll be a great addition to our program,” said Reid, “and he understands what it takes.”

Said Aztec Coach Jim Brandenburg, who brought Bradley with him from the University of Wyoming when he came to SDSU: “Charles has been a great player and an excellent coach in all the years we have been together. He’s done an outstanding job for me at San Diego State as well as at Wyoming. He has a very bright future in the coaching profession, and I wish him the best.”

Bradley averaged 17 points per game and shot 53% from the floor as a four-year starter for Wyoming. Following his graduation in 1981, Bradley was a first-round draft pick by the Boston Celtics and later joined the Seattle SuperSonics.

In 1984 he launched his coaching career as freshman coach at Mullen High in Inglewood, Colo. He also spent a season as a player with the Wyoming Wildcatters of the Continental Basketball Assn.

Bradley joined Brandenburg’s staff at Wyoming in 1986. The Cowboys won the Western Athletic Conference tournament in 1986 and advanced in the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. playoffs with victories over Virginia and UCLA. The Cowboys were 24-10 that season.
