While we're at it, why not an all-time Cat basketball team?
 
 
Center - Evan Eschmeyer
Guard (shooting) - Billy McKinney
Guard (point) - Juice Thompson
Forward (power) - Don Adams
Forward (shooting) - John Shurna
Bench (guard) - Terry Gambert, Jim Burns
Bench (forward) - Tim Doyle, Vedran Vukusic
Bench (center) - Kyle Rowley (OK, I'm joking.  Face it.  Other than Esch, we've 
ever had a good center)
Coach: Morice Fredrick Winter (and even he wasn't very successful at NU)
 
Eschmeyer and McKinney are no-brainers, but some of you may be asking, "Don and 
erry who?"  For you youngsters, Adams was a 6' 6" wi-i-i-ide-body from the late 
60s who spent a number of years as an NBA journeyman thanks to his rebounding 
nd defensive skills.  He remains the only true power forward in my memory to 
ver play for Northwestern and may be the school's best pure rebounder of all 
ime.  He didn't score much, but he kept the other team from scoring, especially 
n put-backs.  Could we ever use him now!  Gambert, now a judge, was a slick 
all-handler and adroit passer from the same era and could shoot as well.  Jim 
urns likewise was from that same era, an all-Big 10 selection at guard his 
enior year and enjoyed a cup or two of coffee in the NBA and the old ABA.  (He 
s now an Illinois state's attorney and ran for governor in the 90s.  You know 
e lost because he's not in jail.)  There should be a guy named Coble on this 
oster, but he went from hero for how he tre
ated his mother to the defecation list for deserting his team mates and blowing 
he opportunity for a free master's degree.
