[NU Sports] Carmody

[Jim Bendat]

We lost another one today, 68-55 to Penn State.  We're now at .500, 
still having a possible chance at the NIT.  For NU, I guess that's an 
accomplishment in basketball.

A number of people on the list -- people whose opinions are worth 
respecting -- have indicated their belief that Carmody is the right man 
for the job at NU, some calling him a "perfect fit."

Can you explain why you feel this way about him?  He seems like a good 
guy, the players are graduating, our teams play decent fundamentals.  
But he's been here for six years.  With our style of play, we have 
difficulty recruiting good players.  He's had to find players from other 
countries to fill our roster spots.  How are things going to improve?
