I can't either--As I have ranted in many postings over the years, none of the 
half dozen head coaches at NU  in my time have been successful  (Since Tex 
Winter--who  at about age 80 still sits near Phil Jackson )--I am not sure 
getting a new coach is the answer--I do think that some people in Evanston have got 
to bang their heads together and figure how do we get better recruits ?  We 
know there are a bunch of players in the Chicago and suburban leagues that are 
very good--I gotta believe some of them have the academic credentials to hack 
it at NU and some of these can be convinced to attened NU rather than the 
competition--

I dont know the answer--but then that's not my expertise
