Shoves are in the ground but no detailed pics of the new hospital yet? Here's what Altru teased Altru might look like in 2020: ....seven years ago.

There are some pics of a guy in Tampa in 2016 down at the beach wearing his SS fleece in 80 degree weather...

If there suddenly starts to be new posters on SiouxSports and they pretty much post only in this thread. Think they are likely to cheerlead for someone?

I guess oil business is picking back up. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/nation/4608445-fastest-growing-us-city-scrambling-survive-shale-boom Aren't Midland Texas and Williston, ND pretty much connected at the hip?

There was also some confusion about Jones exact position at Iowa when he was hired at UND. Consensus for the most part was he had just recently got demoted to "Director of Basketball Operations" at Iowa before he was hired at UND. And had never been any sort of head coach before UND.

Let's not forget Schafer decommissioned Ray Richards. Kennedy was the one who said hey maybe we should bring it back.

I'm liking Herbst from what I've read here.

I just used the most recent numbers from the NCAA website. http://www.ncaa.org/championships/statistics/ncaa-mens-basketball-attendance

2018 Average Mens Basketball Attendance: SDSU 2,292 UND 1,865

It is odd. It's not like these schools (NDSU or UND) can't afford another $100,000 a year for their head coach(es). Pay Bubba S and the men's basketball coach another $100,000 a year each. The athletic department can't afford another $200,000 a year? They are now not having to pay a few expensive sports or coaches they did a few years ago. Heck youd think a few donors could easily cover the increased costs. $13.3 or $13.5 million. https://www.sayanythingblog.com/entry/und-sports-programs-lost-13-3-million-2016/

I can't believe how little NDSU pays its mens basketball coach. Especially for being the #2 sport on campus.
-
All the next guy or gal has to do is not piss off donors or call the state racist, and they'll be ahead of the game! Kennedy set the bar pretty low for the next president.

NDSU head coach, Dave Richmond, agreed to $190,000 base salary contract when he signed it in 2014.
-
Ah yes that makes sense now. Isn't this a list of the top paid mens D1 basketball coaches? https://sports.usatoday.com/ncaa/salaries/mens-basketball/coach/ South Dakota State still top 74 and only need to pay $400,000.

Meant 40th to 50th spot. 50th is new conference mate in SDSU at $300,000. Essentially the top dog in Summit league. 40th coach also has a UND connection (And why I picked those two spots). *yes the numbers are a few years old. The link to USA today has the new numbers....big drop off after the major conferences...and some big differences within the major conferences too.
-
Big jump from the 40th spot to the 50th spot. Only need to pay $300,000 to be the 50th highest paid coach in D1 mens basketball.
-
Preferably good lower level head coach record and/or DI assistant coaching experience. As others have pointed not a fan of someone learning to be a head coach for the first time.
-
Looks like a party line vote...which is an odd thing to say when hiring a university President.
-
Lots of shots from the audience but the board is a hot goalie right now. Not enough to get past. Mark Kennedy is going to win this one.
-
3 out of the 4 women on the board have voted against Mark Kennedy.
-
Where are the other finalists now: Steve Weemer went on to coach boys High School basketball and is no longer in coaching. Randall Herbst kept climbing the ranks and is now associate head coach at UW Green Bay. Tom Brown went from associate head coach at Winona State to head coach at D2 West Texas A&M. Will they make a Masters Degree a requirement ("preference") again to apply?

Trip down SS memory lane.

Everyone in 2006: Craig Smith! Great coach at Mayville. UND: Not even a finalist. Fast forward to 2019 and Craig Smith is head coach at Utah State. Leads them to their first March Madness appearance in eight years in his first year there. Similar circumstances with the recent hiring of the UND football coach....why is the obvious so hard?
