What I'm gathering from all of these posts is that people want a mole in the UND athletic department that reports any suspicious activity to the Herald.

I don't see anyone arguing that. Congrats. You and a majority of the posters here deserve a medal for saying the exact same thing. Call out Hardee all you want for his actions. He made those decisions and has to live with them now. Faison acted on Hardee's illegal activities. I'm honestly curious what punishment Bohl has received for the numerous tickets.

I'm sure Ellen Kreiger's dad and Brian Faison would have been just as open and honest with a newspaper that only covers UND volleyball when they play NDSU. It's quite the moving target that people want the Herald to do more investigative-type reporting into the UND athletic dept but when they do they still get criticized because someone posts an unofficial police blotter that the Herald already knew about but couldn't use as a news source.

So the Herald reported Hardee was put on leave and then just let the rest of the story fall in their lap? No calls to Hardee, players,player's coaches (who gave an interview), the PSU police, Brian Faison? No work to do here! All we needed was a UND press release and a PSU blotter and we would have the same info we have now, right? I don't mean to get snippy, I just know how much work a story like this takes to cover. It's not easy and the herald did a lot of work to get the facts, make sure they were facts and consistently update a complicated story.

I agree SS.com is great information sharing place, especially on this story but the first post is a tweet from the Herald. There is a reason links to herald articles are continuously posted in this thread... that's where the best reporting is being done. There are 7 links in this thread. 5 to Herald articles, one to a nice calendar and one to the PSU Blotter.

Yup, that looks like about 95% of the information.

The mistake is in thinking the crime blotter is a police report. It's generally a one paragraph summary of what is believed to have happened but is EXTREMELY susceptible to mistakes. Any reporter who publishes a story with info from the blotter without talking to an actual officer is opening themselves up to a lawsuit. And I know the Herald spoke with a member of the PSU police department and their answer was significantly more official, and legally airtight, compared to a blotter.

Once again, just to give you an opportunity to solidify your already extremely factual opinion... where did you read 95% of the Hardee information?

Ok, so McFeeley published a list the day before the Herald. What a scoop. Everyone will forever remember McFeeley publishing the list of applicants who have no chance at the job. Reporting based on initial police reports is like listening to the scanner and reporting that. Very little of it is confirmed facts. If the Herald runs that he was possibly intoxicated they open themselves up for a lawsuit if it was proven he wasn't.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. I don't see the forum publishing any original stories about this. The Herald can hardly run a police report that says a "players dad says a player says the coach seemed drunk." Where did you first learn about the hit and run, the dui, the resignation and the driver's license issue? It was the Herald.

Word on the street is Emily Asche and Namoi Dahl are reportedly the two players who left. Hardee's file didn't show up on the public records search because it never left municipal court. Also, his first name is William and that wasn't common knowledge I guess.

HUGE!!!! coverup on this one. I'm shocked UND didn't issue a press release immediately!!!!!!!!! Rarely, is a DUI conveyed to the media. It is usually the local media doing a public records search and then asking about it.

Curious who the 2 players are

Seems like a probable scenario. Unfortunate, but glad Faison was going (did) take action. Time to hire someone new and defend the Big Sky Championship.

Often is cases where there is questionable behavior, employees are given the choice of resigning and that being the end of it. Or being fired and then have the employer pursue potential legal action.

Schlossman is reporting Hardee has resigned.

Fixed it for ya

I like that many of the people who complain about UND playing a dump and chase style also complain about poor decisions with the puck. You need guys with skill who make good decisions with the puck to carry the puck into the zone. Dump and chase allows you to get the puck deep into the zone where guys with less skill can try ad win a battle along the boards. It also forces the defenders to turn their backs on incoming forwards. UND has scored a lot of its goals this year on passes from down low to the front of the net. That's what dump and chase is designed to help.

Starting early today or just continuing the drunkfest from yesterday?

UND doesn't make it to the frozen four. It's more like the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Studio guys on CBS were talking about possible replacements for him and no bald-headed coaches living in Fargo were mentioned.

I'm pretty torn on who I want to win between UNC and ISU today. Both teams have caused some troubles for UND.

UND is actually the #2 seed but they do play the ISU/UNC winner.

I actually don't think it will need to be that high. $175ish plus incentives will be more than enough for someone looking to get HC experience and move up.
