I hope so, but I think she has to much pride to go back to an assistant. Chaves never should have promoted her, she was not ready and still isnt in my opinion.

The improvements I have seen in these players from the beginning of the year until now has been substantial. I believe they have a great core that they can build from. Get a few transfers to fill in the pieces. That being said I dont believe for one second this happens if Mal and anyone of her previous assistant coaches were still on staff. Otherwise I would have seen some improvements in her past 6 teams. Ibrahim for one when i saw her play last year, I didnt think there was much hope for her. At the beginning of the year i seen some improvement, but what I have seen out of her during conference and especially the last few games has been nothing but outstanding. I never saw any player under Mal's previous 5 years improve like I have seen this year. She is defensive player of the year and doesnt even start for us! I think Mal would be a ok assistant coach, but we need a new leader of this team and I hope the assistant coach is the head coach next year.

I see Minot State is in the championship of Northern Sun. Better invite them too. They beat Minnesota State

Typical North Dakota thinking. Now all those people who would go gamble any ways will go spend their money in moorhead and Minnesota and ND loses out again. Our state representatives can sit on their high horse while another state reaps the benefits. These old thinking people need to be voted out so we can move forward as a state.

Not sure why we would want to go back to our Division 2 days and the NCC. Not necessarily sold on the Utah schools but I for sure know I dont want Division 2 schools in our area that will now compete for athletes and water down the summit.

I guess it says everything when Paul Bruns fights Amar for a rebound and wins

Thank god for Josie ! Could save Mals job

Can't make this up 20 pont lead and now down 2. I knew that 20 point lead wasn't safe with Mal coaching. Putting Hurst in at all should have her fired

They said on a broadcast once coach teaches them to get back to set for defense instead of rebounding. When I played we were taught to crash the board. We were up 20 and now a 3 point game. If Mal gets extended Chaves needs to go !!

I agree the Texas schools need to be a priority but kc was rejected by the Missouri valley dont see them leaving.

I like it! Now Fenton needs to get going on something,anything !

I just dont see Drake or UNI moving from the Missouri Valley to the summit. When all the Dakota schools I think would move to the Missouri valley full time if they had a chance.

I seen some rumors now out there that maybe we get the Texas schools to come here and form a new football conference. I do think we need to try and use the strength of our football teams to strengthen the summit league.

Looked like they were picking on Treyson also. Their coach went right at our weak defenders every time. Smart coaches win games

Omaha hasn't beat us at home since 1992.. until tonight. Mal has been on the wrong side of alot of records being broken

I would love the excitement for basketball as football has now with a coaching change. Our basketball programs are so beaten down it's depressing

Unfortunately doesn't matter what either one of us think. The commissioner sounds like he has made his decision to add both Utah teams and he is paid to make those decisions. He obviously sees the advantages of having them in the league.

Mara !!! One bright spot !!

UND men's basketball lost to Utah tech. So you think the bottom of a division 2 conference is a better fit Give me a break. Southern Utah use to have good basketball. I'm not saying anyone of those two teams is my first choice but for sure not thinking augie , sioux falls and northern state should join the league. That's just stupid and will never happen

Exactly. So you would prefer another South Dakota division two school at the bottom of the summit ?

Looks like so far same old story with UND.

Adding Augie would be the dumbest thing possible. Right now their men's basketball team is 12th in the northern sun and you'd prefer them over a division one school ? Western left on their own to save money with a closer conference not kicked out. The south Dakota schools will never let Augie in. They wanted in when they went with st. Thomas. And yes we do need more then 9 teams

No but unlike the men's basketball team keeping players they made a mistake giving scholarships to. He cuts his losses and moves on for the betterment of the team.... hopefully

Still curious who you think we have a chance of adding? I'm sure you agree we need to add a few teams. I'd rather have better schools myself but I dont think we have alot of options. The two Utah schools would be travel partners. Maybe add northern Colorado?

Yes most of them cut i believe are players he recruited.
