FILE - In this Monday, Dec. 28, 2020 file photo, Northern Arizona coach Shane Burcar encourages his players during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game against Gonzaga in Spokane, Wash. Northern Arizona built enough momentum two years ago to get the interim tag removed from coach Shane Burcar's title. A pandemic-altered 2019-20 season filled with stops and starts set the Lumberjacks back, even if they did finish strong. Now that college basketball is headed toward what appears to be a somewhat-normal return, Burcar and the 'Jacks are poised to turn the momentum churning upward again.(AP Photo/Young Kwak, File)
