Dave W.:

No!

Fordy Anderson was the coach during the scandal year 1950 and I think he announced that he was going to Michigan State in '52 or '53 (during an important playoff--probably the 1952 NCAA). Chuck Orsborne was Chet's and Bobby Joe Mason's coach with Joe Stole as Freshman Coach and assistant. Chet graduated in 1962 and Chuck Orsborne was kicked upstairs (Athletic Director) in 1964 (end of my/our sophmore year).

Fordy Anderson and Bradley's All American Center (Paul Unruh) were the only people on the Bradley team (1950) that weren't involved in the point shaving scandal. Unruh was a minister's son and the team didn't think he would go for it and I guess Fordy Anderson was considered a real straight arrow.

I made my first one tube radio set in the mid fifties so that I could listen to Bradley games. My folks came from Decatur which won many Illinois high school basketball titles. They gave me a passion for music and basketball. In fact my mom had Lee Utt as one of her second grade students in Decatur, so they followed Bradley Ball.

If I'm wrong sue me and please feel free to correct me.
