Carmody must go

I have supported Bill  Carmody continuing as Northwestern's coach for a long time because that is a hard place to coach and he has done a better job than anyone who has been there so far. But I am now officially on the "replace Bill" wagon. Here is the reason why. He just does not make his team play a complete game. They can shoot 3's. They can pass. They can cut. But they cannot rebound and they cannot play hard-nosed defense. If this was the first year it had happened, I would say it was the team, not Bill. But it is the same all the time. They are a one-dimensional team, and that will not work. They just lost to UIC "because our shots were not falling." Well, sometimes they do not. That is when you have to go to Plan B. But Carmody does not have a Plan B.
