Northwestern loses leading scorer Coble for season

Coble said Friday that such surgery would keep him off the court for four months, but that doesn't even take into account the rehab time necessary to return to action.
Coble also mentioned on Friday that he'd be interested in taking a redshirt year and returning for the 2010-11 season, but it's important to note that Lisfranc surgery isn't a slam dunk.
