[NU Sports] Moron-oddity

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

The long and the short of it is that we haven't had a coach who can recruit neither to my knowledge has NU ever given a BB coach payment incentives for achieving certain objectives.  Looking at the current team, Thompson is the only guy willing to mix it up, diving for balls, etc.  Maybe that is the way  Carmody want  to play but it is a sure loser.
