Charter Flight to Fargo? Come on, what other program in there right mind would do that? Please give up the bashing of the program, you are done with it, now move on to bigger and better things.
We know the program needs more, we once were a very proud women's basketball school and after Roebuck and then Maddie Buck's teams we have gone the wrong way. Just because you don't like the coach, doesn't really mean anything to anyone one. Where are the other parents voicing their opinion on here? If all parents want change then I would think we would hear more from them too.
What they are saying is - we charter a bus to fargo to catch a commercial flight to save money instead of flying commercial out of GF or charter flight to another city.

Just take all the guess work out of this so you can figure out why this person is pissed, did the player not play, not play enough, have their feelings hurt, start and then got benched , name who you are
I have no idea what this coach is like but when people get personal about looks, hygiene, personality something happened somehow or somewhere.
all I know is he had a good record at Mayville and he beat Malls team so he must have some coaching abilities
this is getting to sound like days of our lives soap opera
If 'name who you are' was the standard and was applied to everyone that posts on here a lot of big thoughts and big talk would disappear quickly.

If this guy is so damn smart name who he is a parent to
I obviously don't know but it could be a father or mother.
It is usually best to take parents complaints with a grain of salt, but........a number of our players have parents who played and/or coached at a very high level so there is a non-zero chance that they know what they are talking about.

I won't leave anyone guessing here...I am a parent of an athlete from this past year's UND Women's basketball team. We have experienced a LOT of basketball over the years following our daughters through their basketball careers. We have been apart of many different coaching regimes over these years; from early grade school, middle school, JV, varsity, AAU and college. We have invested a pile of money, miles, hotels and time in basketball and are due our two cents among the arm chair professionals and psychiatrists. Sorry, this just needs to be said.
This past year was not at all fun to be apart of! Of course, everyone wants to be part of a winning team. It's not easy for the athletes or us parents. We as parents want our daughters to give it their all for the sport they love. Believe me, these young ladies want to give everything they have also. Many have weight trained, managed diets and practiced shooting/moves in the off season. They rigorously practice and compete hard for their positions...as they should. We may have been missing some talent/skill this year, but we were definitely not lacking work ethic or determination! These ladies have dedicated years of their lives to basketball and genuinely love(d) the game. However, they ended this season; belittled, discouraged, broken and defeated. Could you see it throughout the last game at the Summit League Tournament??? You should have, it was evident they were beaten before they hit the court. It was a summation of a season that reached its low point unfortunately. We all expected and deserved better from this team and its leadership.
For those rushing to defend this coach, you are likely doing so without understanding what many of these players actually experienced this season. What people see during games is only a small glimpse. If you paid close attention to the sidelines and truly listened to what was being said to these players, you might begin to understand the problem here. I can't imagine what was being said to them in the locker room, bus and plane. You don't treat "family" like that, at least we don't in ours. You don't argue with and belittle your assistant coaching staff in front of the players. Lying, frustration, humiliation and manipulation are not successful coaching technics. Some of these ladies have now expressed their hatred for basketball and everything it represents. That should concern anyone who cares about the UND Women's basketball program.
Coaching should be about teaching the game, developing skills, exploiting strengths and weaknesses, building confidence and helping athletes grow both on, and off the court. A good coach will scout his players talents/skills and exploit them to the team's benefit, not take the player out of the role they're good at. A good coach should be tough and demanding, but honest and respectful towards his staff and players. Talking about "family" and living living family are two completely different things. Shouldn't a person in this position take responsibility for their actions, or lack there of? Should he continually blame it on lack of player D1 skills for their loses? Or, assistant coaches for not having the expertise to work on defense or offense? You are the head coach, you are the one who is ultimately accountable. The lack of skill here is largely at the top. We were out coached soo many times, it was obvious and embarrassing These ladies deserved better!
Chaves was made aware of this by some of the parents and only lame apologies where offered up. For anyone who truly cares about UND and this once proud program let's start out all new. A nationwide search for a QUALIFIED D1 coach should be the only logical solution. This program deserves and is capable of being better. There is another Aaron Johnston or Jory Collins out there, and Grand Forks has just as much to offer a coach and his/her family.
On a bright note, our daughter is receiving a world class education and that shouldn't be over shadowed here. In the end, that's what is most important.
It's usually easy to discount complaints from parents but this is well written and raises a lot of troubling concerns. It also seems to fit with what we saw on the court. I'm sorry your daughter is experiencing this and we should expect better.
There are a lot of over the top parents out there but this sounds legitimate to me. Anybody that's played or had kids play at any level has seen some terrible coaches. Hopefully Chaves will get to the bottom of it and is willing to move on from Hutter if needed.

They did Chelsea Dagger after TD’s a while back. I didn’t think it fit as well for football.
I guess I can see that. The old saying 'it's school song time' should work too.

Did Ohnstad get any run this year? Looks like 11 minutes per game. 3 ppg. She was highly recruited out of hs.

Got to make the entrance or post tuddy celebraish the "Freebird" solo. It would be so electric. Who cares if it's the USA's hockey song? UND's hockey team copies just about everything the Blackhawks do, and nobody cares.
I filled out my survey as well. Mentioned the time the PA was inaudible for nearly a half. I also suggested a cheap one sheet roster of both teams would be nice to have like they did for a while. It's a pain to find on phone and then go back to watching the game and then have open phone again. PIA and inconvenient.
I was listening to USA WBC game a few nights ago and they played Freebird when the US got the third out to work out of a jam. Was thinking it was a great crossover.
I don't think it would ever happen but made me think it would be great to have a common song played after goals, TDs, during timeouts after big bb runs, etc. I don't care if it's Freebird, Chelsea Dagger or something else. It would be a nice tie across the atheletic teams.

Not loving the commentary, seems like we should have the usual suspects in such an important game.
I know Alex is doing soccer but not sure why we lost Scanny too.

Players thinking portal should look at Eaglestaff. Talented kid. Watching WVU against BYU. He's not a factor. Decent numbers. 30 mins a game, but looks totally bored out there. What a waste his transfer was. I guess he made some $, but I think he should have stayed at UND. He'd have owned the Summit.
There are a lot of guys going to work every day and are totally bored but are making closer to $50k than $1.5M.

to me there were 3 obvious missed calls, 2 trips and a slap to the face of george
i guess trips and slaps weren’t being called .
The trips were big cuz allowed SU to get offensive rebounds.

I agree he needs another year to develop and get stronger he’s guaranteed playing time here and we would still two years of eligibility left if they don’t change eligibility rules again.
I've really enjoyed watching his development.

Greyson can’t leave the court again.
What are the changes he's on the court for us next year? Guessing we'll get outbid for his services with the way he's been playing late in the year.

With a true quarterback coach on staff, he'll improve
Hopefully Danny’s that guy. From the way back machine I heard from former QB family that the QBs back then weren’t impressed with his qb coaching ability. A lot of time has passed since then and I’m sure he’s learned a lot.

I have read that a couple times as well. Not knowing the Russia game was the semifinals is ignorant and lazy in the context of today. But you know this is what the MSM does...right?
It actually was a weird round robin tournament with no bracket play so no semifinals.
Top 2 from each of 2 pools made the final 4 pool play. The results from prelim pool counted so each team played the 2 from the other pool that qualified. US tied Sweden in first pool play and beat Soviet Union and Finland in final pool. The US had the best record so won the gold. If we'd lost to Finland we'd have finished with 3 points so Soviets would have won the gold.

2025-2026 Season
in Women's Basketball

Beyond what is best for our current team, it is easy to see what a recruiting advantage it is for teams like SDSU that have those resources.
I have seen many of our fb recruits state that the nutrition program we have for them was a difference maker in them committing to UND. If that is a big deal, imagine what chartering and they way they are treated does for SDSU. You can argue that it isn't something we should be doing but then don't be surprised when kids want to go other places.
