[NU Sports] Basketball Coaches salaries

[dave bradley]

Salary-shock by the NU trustees notwithstanding, is the expectation (of this group) that bringing in a Tubby Smith-like coach will improve the quality of the athlete that NU will be able to bring in for basketball? Or is the expectation that the TS-like coach would do a better job with the athletes that NU is able to attract?
 
Even for the better success that the football team has achieved since 1995, the recruiting classes remain mostly comprised of "good" athletes who in some cases mature and eventually excel, granted of course that for  hoops, 2-3 high caliber athletes could make dramatic change vs. what you need for football.

It's going to be interesting to see what AD Phillips and the incoming and  
outgoing Presidents decide concerning Carmody.  I think he definitely comes  
back next year, but what if he wants an extension on his contract if he is  
nearing the end of his term (I have no idea how many years he has  left)?  That 
could be tricky, although he probably (but not definitely)  could obtain a modest 
extension.  If we don't show well in the NIT,  assuming we get an invite, 
that would not help his cause at all, as we would  have finished on the down 
swing, after a whiff of a hope of being considered for  the "bubble".
