Nero doesn’t either unfortunately. Tough spot to be in with no legitimate backup PG

I’m leaving at halftime and watching on TV lol North Central is a high school JV team

Perfect! That is most definitely a good thing.

NDSU doesn't seem to have that many problems being successful for a school in North Dakota. But to each their own. Also, I in fact very much have a clue of what happens on a day-to-day basis of running a basketball program. I have many years of experience in playing/coaching college basketball. Was very successful at that if I may add. So another false assumption on your part. Guaranteed more experience and more of a clue than you have on what it takes. Have a great rest of your day!

I am all for having a conversation or debating a topic in this forum. But when you come in here calling everyone clowns and saying we are all utterly stupid because we aren't best friends with the coach and have different opinions on him than you, you lose all credibility and become irrelevant. We aren't even talking about just the game Saturday. We are talking about the last 3 and a half years that he has been at UND. What has he honestly done since being here that makes him deserving of a contract extension? Honest question. Unless this season finishes very strong and we don't lose any of our top players AGAIN, I would say he hasn't done anything but be a below average coach, a below average recruiter, and turned this program into basically a Division 2 program. He has a .343 win percentage in his time at UND. His best season at UND is 15-18 in his first year with a roster of the previous head coaches players. Next year with his guys they go 9-17. Next year with even more of his guys and they go 6-25 and was one of the worst basketball teams in D1. That deserves a contract extension?? I would love to hear your unbiased case for what makes him a coach that deserves an extension.

So because you are obviously related to Sather and will continuously have his back, it makes all of us "utter stupidity" and we know nothing about basketball. I really respect your efforts to have Sather's back but it is getting to the point that MANY fans are getting sick of it and think it may be time for a change. We will see how the year progresses and what happens at the end of the year. No one wants UND to lose or personally hope that Sather gets fired. But this is a part of being a coach and coaching at the college level. When you underperform and continuously cannot keep kids at your school then fans will begin to ask when a change will happen. Just the way it is you fruit.

Would love for us to get a good look at a shortened rotation and let them build some chemistry together. Build up the confidence by running up the score.

I agree. But do we have anything else to go off of? It may not be all on Sather but since he took over at UND we have had nothing but players transferring out. We can only look at past data and the past data has shown that we will lose top players every single year.

How much longer does Sather have left on his contract? This year and next year?

I would not be surprised if any of those players you mentioned leave after this year. Omot, Brooks, and Eaglestaff are the three most important though. NEED to be able to keep them for 2 more years at least.

I really hope Omot can take that lead scoring role over full steam very soon! I wonder what is holding him back from doing that? He is very capable of doing it. You can see other guys on the court look to try and get him the ball late game and late shot clock situations. Just needs to take it and believe that he can be that lead scorer.

Unlucky!

Brooks can shoot catch and shoot!! Keep doing that! Huge shot by the young man!!

Trent!!!!

When’s the last time we scored?

He was fouled on the jumper as well. Tough shot!!

Seems to be his style. Old school style. I hope Eaglestaff gets more run in the second half as well! He can score the ball!!

No, it’s pretty flat. It’s all in his head now

Couldn’t agree more. One of two legit scorers on the team and take him out as soon as he makes two in a row…

Eaglestaff out after making two 3’s…

Very Interesting!

17:20 on warmup clock right now

Yes. Starting five. Then 1. Brooks 2. Mathews 3. Treysen 4. Danielson a few minutes a game. I feel like you have to get Danielson in there a few minutes a game as he will usually make some positive hustle play for you.

I like Norman in the starting lineup to have a shooter at the SG position next to Trent. See if he can hit a three or two to start off the game. But give Brooks a boat load of minutes off the bench. Looking forward to seeing this matchup today!

I'm glad you have a friendship with the staff! You have your opinions on the coach and the "facts". I have my opinions on the coach and the "stories". I'm glad we got that cleared up. Have a great rest of your day! #LetsKeepRebuilding
