2012 Hall of Fame Induction: Dr. Ron Bradley

"This is a tremendous and special honor. When a coach gets inducted into a hall of fame, it's because of his players."
    - Bradley's induction speech (Oct. 6, 2012)


During his 11-year tenure (1991-2002) as Radford's head coach, Dr. Ron Bradley compiled a 109-47 regular-season Big South record (.699 winning percentage) and was 193-124 overall (.609) -- becoming the Conference's all-time leader in both categories upon his departure in 2002. He held the overall wins record until 2007 and the Big South victory standard until January 2010.

Inducted into the Big South Hall of Fame in 2010, Bradley led Radford to a 20-9 record and the school's first Big South Regular Season Championship in his first season (1991-92), earning Big South Coach of the Year honors.

He also led the Highlanders to the 1998 Big South Tournament Championship and the school's first-ever NCAA berth. In all, Bradley had four 20-win seasons -- second most by a coach in Big South history, and directed the Highlanders to the Big South Semifinals in 10 of his 11 seasons. In addition, Bradley's squads won three regular-season Big South titles while advancing to the Big South Championship game in 1998, 1999 and 2001.

Bradley, who has over 30 years of coaching experience, currently serves as the associate head coach at DePaul University. He held that post at Clemson for seven seasons, where the Tigers made six postseason appearances, including three NCAA visits from 2008-10.

A New England Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, Bradley is also a member of his high school's (North Quincy) and college's (Eastern Nazarene) halls of fame.
