[NU Sports] Hallelujah

[Abrahamson, Alan (NBC Universal)]

John, you're obviously right that the basketball programs are in need of

 But, again, that is not the job of the AD. The job of the AD is to
empower/hire the person whose job that is.

True, but the BB programs have been a disaster and are the most need of
a fix.
