[NU Sports] BB Coaching Change? (fwd)

[cherron604 at aol.com]

The Carmody argument that our long losing tradition prevents us from winning, while plausible and maybe even understandable, strikes me as a cowardly way out.  If a 7-year CEO stood before his stockholders and told them that they were going to lose money again this year, but that was reasonable since they had been losing money for so long, I am not sure that the stockholders would be as patient with their 7-year CEO as we have been with our 7-year coach...When CEO's are paid big money, stockholders expect big results.

are to watch. You don't think high school players hear that? 
 
No, Jim, I don't. I would find it quite surprising to hear that college-bound high school basketball players are listening to college games on XM. They're more likely to be listening to tunes or watching MTV. Watching games on TV? Yes. They've grown up in a visual world. 
 
I doubt our style of play is the issue or at least much of one. As stated here, Carmody claims that our long losing tradition is, and I find no reason to doubt the man who should know better than all of us. Throw Bill Carmody away at your peril.
