I'm not sure what your point is, it looks like I was pretty spot on with what I said. That team did exactly what I predicted, turning it around and going 12-6 from that day through the conference tournament and made it to the title game where they lost to Weber on their home court while playing without multiple starters and the first guy off the bench (Brekke, Webb and Schuler) not even mentioning the guys who were dinged up and still gutting through it.
Then they win 8 games the next season, 6 of those wins DI, because heaven forbid Jones would put together multiple successful seasons in a row without laying eggs in between.

Disappointing and underperforming thus far in the year? Without a doubt and an understatement.
Fire Jones? Get real.
After hearing him talk at the booster luncheon last week, he's well aware of the team's shortcomings and the team is too. Guys are having to change their role and it isn't going very smoothly. The injuries they've dealt with over the last couple years have been pretty ridiculous. If anyone doesn't think that this team would be completely different with Brekke in the line-up, you didn't pay much attention to what he brought to the table.
I expect this team to play decent basketball the rest of the season and make the Big Sky tourney. What happens after that is on the players who put 4+ years in to getting themselves into that position. Jones' teams have historically played their best basketball at the end of the year, lets hope it continues.
This was your first post in this thread. Some opinions just don’t change and it’s not for the good.

Just means the original poster of this thread didn't know what they were talking about.
Because this program under Jones has accomplished so much since Jan 2014. One good season = lifetime contract?

Yeah, just a bit more complex than that but sounds a lot better when you just put it out like that right?
The beginning of this year is turning out as expected when you unexpectedly lose a conference of the year type player a year early to grad transfer, your second best player has to sit out the first semester and you are trying to figure out a rotation with 11 guys who have never played a minute of D1 basketball.
Other than a year or two, it seems like it is always something (conference, nickname, injuries, grad transfers, etc). Bad luck, coaching or a combination of that plus other things out of anyone's control, I'm not sure what the main issue is. Jones has 2 1/2 years left on his contract, he'll finish out this year and have an incredibly young team coming back next year that will have gained some valuable experience. Will be prove it time or it's likely someone will get to inherit a pretty veteran team.
So Berry has one and a half bad seasons and people want him gone, Bubba has 2 bad seasons and people want him gone, Jones has had almost a decade worth of bad seasons and here comes the excuses on why to keep him. I didn’t know that basketball is in line of importance with track and field and golf.
1. Hockey
2. Football
3. Volleyball
4. Women’s basketball
5. Soccer
6. Track
7. Men’s basketball
Sound about right?

Jones is still coaching here because he's cheap. That's got to be the only reason.
Very true. I am sure his salary is towards the bottom and how much would Chaves pony up to replace him.

What I am getting at is he never should have been put in that lame duck situation. After the 15-16 season, Faison should have just manned up and said either "I believe in you Brian, here is a 3 year $120,000 extension." or "Brian, I think it is time we went in a different direction" He did neither.
Any of those situations go down and UND basketball is in way better shape that it is right now.
Faison didn't want anything to do with coaching changes until the program was in the hole. Any glimpses of hope and is an automatic extension from Faison. (see Muss and Brewster) Chaves has to see basketball as a major problem with lack of success and needs to be addressed both men's and women's.

I mean I agree but Jones has been called out by the fans for numerous seasons.
There have been some very vocal fans that Jones needs to go, but there are a lot of people that make excuses for him to stay. You don't get 130 pages of a 4 year old thread if everyone agrees he needs to go.

Faison's decision to allow Jones to be a lame duck in 2016-17 continues to haunt this program (should have cut bait or extended him after 15-16).
I guess he thought the success of that season would continue, instead he has gone 12-20 last year and just one DI win this year. Not good.

Time to dust off this thread, as it’s a broken record.
Last time we had a new men’s coach we were in the NCC. Why has Jones been allowed to last that long. Bubba was being called out just 4 seasons in by fans, Berry is being called out just 3 seasons in, and yet Jones and his mediocrity has been a stain for over a decade, and yet the mood is oh well.
No Summit League Title this season, can him.

Serious question...
What would be the appeal of being FBS G5 when Central Florida has won 25 in a row and is still not even considered for the FBS playoffs?
There is no appeal. No G5 team will be allowed in the FBS power 5 playoff, unless they allow all FBS conference winners which will never happen. UCF is the deterrent in moving up, first Boise State got all the snubs in the polls, now we see UCF getting snubbed. Do Bison fans think they will be the first to get into the FBS playoffs with Bama, Okalahoma and the big dogs? App State won the Sun Belt and their prize is Middle Tennessee St in the New Orelans Bowl.
FCS title or New Orelans Bowl Hmmm.

2-1. Need a goal, keep a couple goal lead.

Better not take the foot off the gas for the entire game, do not let the Bulldogs back in it.

2-0!!!

Nice start!! Go Hawks!

Hopefully they can get something going before SL play starts.

So people are quick to say Fire Berry, or Fire Bubba, and yet we have a mediocre coach from our DII days coaching basketball. I don’t see Berry getting fired anytime soom while Chaves has this problem in front of him.

Coach Jones?
in Men's Basketball

Another excuse...graduation? Hakstol, Blais, Gasparini had graduating players and still had UND hockey on top, Gene Roebuck won 3 titles in a row still reloaded. Roger Thomas and Dale Lennon made the DII playoffs year after year after loosing a QB or key players and playing NDSU every year. Jones struggles to win against non conference teams on the road, he has one 20 win season since we were in the NCC. The SL is a lot tougher than the Big Sky ever was. I know money is a big part but money was tight when Muss was let go and Bubba came on. Then with the rebranding of the name and logo they hired Brad Berry and his salary isn’t a low one. I am sure they can find the money somewhere.
