Exactly . Looked like Hutter game plan to begin and Mal took over her game plan at half.

They are close only because they hired Hutter. I have seen things from this year that I've never seen the previous years with Mal. Better rotations. Making adjustments. Better offense. Looking at scouting reports and making adjustments. Like tonight how they double downing on sdsu big. Mal never did any of this before. Not a coincidence it's happening this year after the hire.

I think Mal looks at the forum. Took my suggestion to play Demers and Ibrahim at the same time. Hope I gave her good advice !

I see it does make a difference if we make coaching changes. We can recruit athletes to grand forks, just need the right coach. Now we need it for a few other sports before our culture is destroyed.

You could be a assistant coach with Sather 🤔

Ask @SD UND he seems to know what goes on with Sathers plays

Good time out. Keeping working it inside and the outside will come !

How did I know Sathers half time adjustment would be go back to the way we were playing chucking 3s

Mara !!!!! I'm even saying it !!!

I actually thought the there was a decent crowd today considering our record. Really all year . Imagine if we had a good team !

Did coach finally figure out we shoot a better percentage 5 feet from the basketball then 30 ! Much better shot selection today !

They just need to make Hutter the coach. His teams in Mayville with much smaller players beat UND.

We just need a overhaul with women's basketball. Not sure why Mal don't try playing both bigs at once. Demers and Ibrahim. Ibrahim deserves more minutes.

Where are you hearing this from @gfhockey Have you heard if they will be contributing tax income to the city?

What I heard was that they are asking the city to Annex the land into the city. This couldnt be considered sovereign land at that point. They would be paying taxes like any other business in city limits, unless the city gave them some sort of break. They give other businesses breaks for bringing the economic impact that this could bring to the city. The biggest hurdle for them will getting approval from the State and Federal to build a casino off the reservation. I have to think that they have been given some kind of confirmation that they will, otherwise why go through purchasing the land and going to the city.

I dont see how the dead Columbia Mall and the Casino have anything to do with each other. The mall is owned by a out of state company that clearly doesnt put anything into and is losing renters by the droves yearly. Until now where there is very few businesses left in it. I have seen people online bashing the mayor and city about trying to do something about it. What can the city and mayor do with a privately owned business? The other is a casino which is trying to bring a economic impact to our community. I believe if the land is annexed into the city they will be contributing to the tax base. If this casino fails, the tribe will be the ones baring the economic loss not the city. The owners of the mall dont care about Grand Forks or what they are doing to the city, the tribe building a casino will contribute to the betterment of Grand Forks. Yes I know they will also benefit, but I also believe they are trying to bring some new forms of entertainment to Grand Forks which we dont have. I seen the axed the water park to not compete with the Canad Inn water park. Until the owners of the mall finally sell there is nothing the city or mayor can do about it.

I agree with what you are saying. When Mallory won 2 games for her interim season, I thought no way she gets this job. Then it came down to her and one male coach. I was surprised she made top two, but figured they were doing it to save face with a former athlete. I dont remember the male coaches name, but remember thinking he had some experience that could have helped us. When she was awarded the head coaching job after winning only 2 games and being an assistant for the coach they had fired I was floored. Since then she has proven she is not a D1 basketball coach. NDSU made a bold move after hiring two female coaches that basically took their teams to the toilet in hiring Jory Collins. He has turned that team around and has made them a contender. I have no problem with a female coach, but I also dont think there should be preferential treatment for a female to coach a female team. Best candidate should get it period. I also believe Coach Hutter is the reason this years team is showing some signs of improvement this year. Time to move on.

I dont think so. I think right off interstate with easy access for passing traffic, especially Canadian traffic is smart. Besides where down town would be big enough to have a casino like that? Parking would be horrible. They have 146 acres now to build on. This is suppose to be a Vegas type casino.

When Sather signed those two Century guys early in the year, I thought that was a big mistake and waste of scholarships. Then they played in the state tournament and it was confirmed. Another Sather mistake in recruiting.

Yes that is where the new interchange will be. When they purchased that land they had to know that.

According to the maps on the news it is on the west side of interstate right next to the campground on the south side.

Wouldnt you think the Tribe has already checked with the State before they purchased this land? I would think they have some sort of idea if they think they will get this passed before purchasing the land. I probably am wrong.

I know someone who works at a non profit. The amount of money they pull in a week is crazy. More then what they need to run these organizations. Where there is wasteful spending because they receive so much. Those organizations may lose some of the charitable gambling income, but they would still make enough to run their organizations. Grand Forks needs something to set themself apart. The casino would bring tax revenue, offer another hotel, bring another big employer and offer another entertainment option in Grand Forks.

Where is Chaves responsibilities in this all? He hires these people. Gives them extensions and then when they fail, it costs the university money. When does he just get let go ? If i cost my employer as much as he has i wouldn't have a job.

Probably was but she is such a liability. I'd never have her throwing in the ball. Big mistake by coach. Have your best passer and if Hurst is open at the buzzer let her shoot. But Josie needed the ball
