  1. Is there any advantages in letting him go now, run with an interm coach wile looking for another head coach? Or is it better practice to wait until the season is over?
  2. New coaching staff - that's the answer. I
  3. Yep, I've actually seen almost every game for many years now. Not only that, I've seen pretty much every MN kid play live in HS multiple times. I also know what happens when you squash players confidence. After all that, this is what I've come to. You dont have to believe it, its my opinion. UND have had some great players, but the one common thing in the last 7 years is the coach.
  4. No way, that is not an upgrade. Danielson?
  5. I think we do ok in the portal, and recruiting. I know i might be in the minority on that. The problem is we cant coach what we have, and they are sucking the life out of the players. Re-watch the game and check out the body language in the huddle and the bench. Also, the 1st few games, players looked like they were flying around, now they are going through the motions, hoping to not get subbed out or yelled at.
  6. No focus, no grit, no smiles, no good. Players not making shota, Staff has lost the locker room.
  7. This performance screams of issues between coaches and players. The confidence level seems to be sucked put of these guys. Western Illinois hasn't won a D1 game yet this year, and they are on the road beating the Hawks.
  8. And yes, the removal should have happened years ago. I'm just curious with the portal happening very soon after the end of the season, do you wait until that last game, or make the decision sometime during the season? If an extension comes, that would be bad
  9. How long before they either announce a men's basketball coach contract extension, or a removal? And when would be a good time for that?
  10. That's a very interesting article - paints both sides of the picture. It's a lot of $$ for a player to turn down, especially when they dream of playing after college and want to get into a program that can help them. The other side of that story, that's a lot of $$ to pay a player. And when the player struggles and the team struggles, the critics will come out. I'm sure Trey is working his butt off and probably isn't happy with the results in some of the games. I also believe he probably is harder on himself then others are on him - which usually doesn't help progress. Totally understand the community & donors disappointment about a slow start from the team, especially with the amount of $$ that has been spent. The struggle with the portal and the climate of sports. Thanks for posting it.
  11. Gotta hand it to Sather and staff, up 30 and Crown playing guys that dont usually play and he's sticking to the rotation.
  12. 20 seconds left, down 3, and after the timeout, we attempt a contested layup. Bad coaching is right.
  13. You can think he's a good shot or a bad shot, it really doesn't matter , Guga cant play the whole game and Josh seems to always be in foul trouble. As a staff, its him or Erikson to give Guga a break. Pick your poison, but at least allow them some time. They will both miss shots and make mistakes because neither has had meaningful minutes.
  14. Subbing... once again, they dont give him any time. Now something must be up with A3, so he gets time and we see he really should be getting time.
  15. And an instant yank from the game. That's a perfect example of sucking the confidence out of a player. 30 seconds of play time and a wide open shot miss, and pull him. Im not defending him missing, but let him at least break a sweat. Its either get him some time or let Josh foul out. If he is a shooter, he'll come out of it, if he isn't you'll know, but this 1 minute or less crap isnt helping anyone, or the team. Might as well keep him on the bench
