Another Big 10 Change

I'm rather slow in posting this, but Northwestern University's coach, Beth Combs, has resigned:

Northwestern women's basketball coach Beth Combs resigned Wednesday after four years in Evanston to pursue other personal and professional opportunities.

''We want to thank coach Combs for her service to Northwestern and the effort she gave our women's basketball program,'' athletic director Jim Phillips said in a news release. ''We wish her and her family the very best.''

Combs compiled a 24-95 overall record and a 7-59 mark in Big Ten play. This past season, the Wildcats were 5-26 and 1-17 in the conference. She was hired by former NU athletic director Mark Murphy, who also had hired her at Colgate. A Decatur native, she played for one season as a walk-on at Illinois.
