What is SS?
Guessing referring to Abby Duchacherer. Former ND Miss Basketball who plays softball at Alabama. Is coming next year with one year left I believe.

If they were lied to they should be at Chaves or Armacost. We are not able to discern fact nor provide remedy here. They are.
True. Just said more went in to the parents comments besides charter flights. That is getting all the focus on here but was only one of many things that were brought up.

I think where you’re going wrong is you are assuming that the poster isn’t fabricating anything they have said. Which I personally find very unlikely considering how worked up they seem to be at the current HC
I see a huge gap between UND and the better teams in the conference. We don't exactly tear it up in recruiting and even then a majority of our team left after last year. I haven't dug too deep but other Summit teams get kids to commit earlier and get arguably more higher rated players.
I am for looking at everything that goes into that. Coaches, facilities, travel, scholarships, NIL, etc. The level of 'nothing to see here' just because it came from a couple of parents of current players is amazing to me. They most certainly have some bias but are also closer to the program than probably 100% of the people on here. If we were killing it on the court it would be easier to dismiss but we've been bad for a long time through 3 head coaches over 10-12 years. The end of Brewster era, Bernhard, and now Hutter.
I personally think Hutter deserves another year or two unless Chaves and others determine it is really that bad. I don't see things getting better anytime soon unless he can get some good portal players. Based on the comments from the parents on here we might actually go the other way and see another big exedus of players and assistant coaches.

If charters are a key criteria why accept less. That’s what I don’t understand.
Was opportunity available to them to play for a team that does charter? I think you do understand the answer but want to make them say that.
You fixate on the charters but they stated they were lied to during recruiting on how the players would be treated.
"they tell you in a recruiting visit and when you ask about training table and catered once a day meals when the student athlete is in the building they say of course we do what all the other summit league schools do and then they take and show you the cafeteria in the mens hockey locker room and tell you that all comes from here"

Again, then why didn’t (assuming) your daughter go there.
Not sure what you are angling for here. They have already stated that UND promised a number of things that didn't turn out to be true.
They also stated that SDSU has their kids locked up by 8th or 9th grade. Guessing you want them to tell you their daughter didn't rise to that level. Could that be considered a personal attack? Maybe we should see what a moderator might think of that. Oh, wait........

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is possible that is looking to address your concerns and can't say much to anybody that is not in his chain of command. I know that would have been true in the corporation I worked for.
It is also possible that he isn't going to do anything but even if he was he probably wouldn't say anything.
