Way too long the Busch lights are adding up.

I agree with the post that Chaves is an issue with hires but from what I have seen over the years good coaches don’t come to Grand Forks. UND is not a desirable place to come and coach and Chaves makes that worse.

Can you provide any other reasons why UND can’t hire good coaches or recruit good athletes?

Brookings yes. Both are South of Grand Forks and closer to civilization. As to why UND doesn’t do better hiring coaches I would think a large aspect of this is people don’t want to move to Grand Forks. For hiring in volleyball or WBB could definitely try hiring an NSIC head coach but men’s basketball did that and the fan base doesn’t seem to believe that is going well.

I think so too. But I also wonder how coaches convince kids to come and play in Grand Forks in the first place

I thought we would have shown better today. Didn’t seem to have the same energy as Friday.

Still in this!

Let’s go!

That was entertaining tonight. The ladies looked good and I think there were a lot of positives to take away. Better than what I was expecting.

Not short of options

Not when they start losing again

Looking into the history books soccer had winning seasons in 2018 and 2019 ironically under the previous coach. So his excuses that you cant win at UND are disproven by his own work. I will still add that I think that instead of hiring the assistant they should have hired someone with more experience, but I cannot imagine many coaches would want to work with this athletics director.

I agree with you it was a very good interview. I think there is some real optimism building for this season.

It looks as though there is some work being done out at the soccer field does this mean the team won their inequity complaint?

She would be a big asset if healthy.

Has anyone actually checked the performance of our track program across all events? We have a few individuals that are doing very well but overall we are nowhere near as good as other Summit League schools. We are not winning the way it is being represented.

The euphoria over recruiting this week is nice but for people watching Sioux hockey for so many years getting your hopes up too much is a yearly dogma. Getting out of regionals this season would be a sign of progression, outside of that it would be mostly what Berry did. My guess is we will be about the same as last year but hope I am eating crow next spring.

I think we are both correct

Based on the overall performance level of this athletic department the administration are program wreckers. Lots of changes needed at UND right now.

Definitely. State of the art facility can see why it is helping them win more games. And just to think before this was completed the team was planning to meet the president to bring up a lot of complaints in comparison the mens sports.

We don’t know if these recruits are any better than what they are replacing. If you ignore the social media blitz from the new coach it would appear they are not.

Until next year when everyone is complaining about how bad the basketball programs are again.

The daughters might be mad for their father and going about this the wrong way. Is BB really trying to undermine the new staff though?

Men’s basketball either have a coach the is seeing out the clock as has been stated or are trying to bring in kids that can help. The womens program are just signing anyone who will say yes that isn’t a good strategy to get better. I hope I’m wrong but looking at Hutter’s commitments it doesn’t fill you with confidence.

I do not think they will surprise but I hope they do.
