Additionally, he served as head coach of the Thunder cross country programs from 2002 until 2015. Bradley's teams won ten CCIW championships, with five women's cross-country championships (2003, 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2008), three CCIW titles in women's outdoor track and field (2006, 2017, and 2018), and two CCIW Indoor Track and Field Championships (2017 and 2018). Twenty-nine individuals earned All-America recognition during Scott's tenure as coach, with 14 in men's indoor and outdoor track and field, nine for women's indoor and outdoor track and field, five in men's cross country and one in women's cross country. He was named the 2006 NCAA Division III "Coach of the Year" in women's outdoor track and field by the United States Track & Field/Cross Country Coaches Association, leading Wheaton to its first CCIW Championship in women's outdoor track & field. He was twice named Midwest Region "Coach of the Year" in women's indoor track & field and honored as the Midwest Region Women's Cross Country "Coach of the Year" in 2008. Bradley says of his time at Wheaton, "It has been an incredible privilege and undoubtedly one of the greatest honors of my life to coach this team for 34 years and to be the head coach for 23. Without question, working with the many outstanding young men and women who have made up this team over those years has been a special and life-changing experience for me."  Scott graduated from Wheaton with a degree in Math and Computer Science in 1986. He and wife Debbie have four grown children.
