[NU Sports] One Shining Moment

[NEONRye at aol.com]

One would think that a really good coach, given a top compensation package,  
with Chicago as a media base, and the opportunity to "Take the Purple to the  
Promised Land" (i.e., the NCAA Tournament) and to thus echo GB's  
once-in-a-lifetime achievement, would go for it.  It won't be an easy sell,  and I hate to 
see Carmody go in many ways, but I can't help thinking that we  need someone 
else with a broader vision who will recruit more athletic and  creative 
players.  As far as I am concerned, Corey Brewer was absolutely  magnificent 
throughout the tournament.  We have never had a player of that  incandescence, on 
offense, defense and on the boards.  You cannot convince  me that there are not 
at least a couple like him (or Mike Conley, Jr.--another  "winner" in every 
sense) in this entire country with decent SAT's and a good  academic record.  
It's time for someone like that to come to Evanston and  lead us to a place we 
have never been.
