...improve production. Nestle sent a manufacturing SWAT team to help last year. That resulted in a raft of small production-line improvements, including redesigning the levers that dab glue on the wrappers and reprocessing wasted sugar rather than feeding it to York's pigs--tiny changes but ones that add up and are far cheaper than a new robot. "We are obsessed with getting costs down," says Jobson. Back in his office, he pulls up a graph showing York's productivity. In 1998 it took 38 man-hours to produce a ton of chocolate.

It was an opportunity to meet with alums, make connections in a growing hotbed for basketball talent, and take one small step toward success. “All the things that it brings, we think these games can add a lot to our program,” Amaker says. “[They] provide a lot of value.”This strategy has already paid dividends, as three three-star recruits, the first in Harvard’s history, verbally committed to the program last month.
