I want our coaches and players to study game film of this Loyola basketball team on a daily basis. And, you know, copy what they do.
From now until next season

How about make shots, but also play defense and rebound. That's a critical improvement on the old regime.
The old regime had players who could make shots. Problem was, they often couldn't stop the other team from making even more shots.
have you watched Loyola play? yes they make their shots and play a tough MxM defense but they are near the bottom of Div. I schools in rebounding. One thing I would like to see NU copy is on drives to the basket, use the dam backboard. Enough of those soft floaters. Also amazingly Loyola has not had one player foul out all season. Thai's playing defense with you feet and not be out of position and reaching with your hands.
Rebounding statistics can be misleading. When you're making a lot of your shots, you don't get many offensive rebounds.
True but it has been reported that Moser coaches his team to sprint back on defense after a missed shot. Sounds a bit like the way a previous NU coach saw that, except without the success.
Pi Phi had "TAKE SHOTS" shirts that almost exactly replicated the official Make Shots shirt of 2009-2010.
