UND1983

Why do you feel its a given he will be extended?

Girls came is great right now. 3 mins left and Shanley up 4. Minot and UND commit Ben Bolinske should cut down the nets.

By a freshman. Rahe got what he wanted. Not arguing that it wasn't a good shot to take, though. Just not the perfect setup for UND as they obviously wanted Hooker to take it but he was doubled. Conversely, Weber had their best shooter take the 3 to tie it. Sucks it worked out that way after UND played them even all game.

They double-teamed him. There was literally zero chance of him getting the ball and even if he did what was he going to do with two guys on him? Rahe's plan to surprise UND with a double team on Hooker worked perfect, unfortunately.

Saturday Morning Quarterback Time that has nothing to do with UND actually did: if you had to do it all over would you take timout right when you notice they were doubling Hooker? Then, reconfigure and make sure you come down hard with Crandall four on three, leaving Hooker out of the picture near half court. Once again, just trying to replay it in my head the NEXT morning. Geno got a good shot but wondering if they could have somehow got a layup based on Weber's defense.

They doubled Hooker on the in bounds. No chance. Smart move by Randino.

Shanks had huge rebounds at the end there and got fouled. Really really wish Geno would drained that FT line jumper to win the game. That would have been epic.

That was a hell of an effort and they could have easily won. They were prepared.

Sh@t

Please Hooker do not drive too deep.....please.

This is awesome. Just finish boys. Hooker every play....

I am still amazed they played that well. ISU was playing alright, too. The big test is up next. Beat Weber and shut everyone up (myself included).

That was impressive! What a half.

I think we are on same page. My statement a few post back was more related to have they been hiring more VP's in the past 10 years than they had 10 years ago. Are they all needed and why didn't they need them all 10 years ago? I don't care about the dollar figure itself, more about the title and did it exist previously. Maybe I am oversimplifying things but it seems like the "non-billable's" have been growing in numbers quite fast lately. Once again, I could be wrong and am seeking clarification.

Where does a masters get somebody then? It means I spent too much time in school and paid for it, I can verify that. But in the academia world does it mean I too can be a "Vice President"? Or do I need larger student loans that show I have a doctorate?

Anybody in the know: why is UND playing so much zone now? Their zone is really average, to say the least. Seemed to play much better man-to-man earlier in conference season and it appeared very sound.

Fair point. I want nothing more than UND Mens BB to make the tourney, trust me. But, I have also been vocal in my doubting of Jones coaching/leadership abilities. I would love to be proven wrong by seeing them in the dance.

Since Nagy made the NCAA tournament in his 4th year out of the transition, as it appears, and it's obvious that the comments in this thread were made to promote Jones vs. Nagy and their histories, UND should be putting on their dancing shoes Saturday night.

Also, how did SDSU get Daum? Kid is 6'9" with a huge wingspan, shoots 3's and has a full post game. Not the fastest kid in world but doesn't need to be.

You must be trying to relate it to UND/Jones somehow. I don't get it. The conversation is about SDSU making the tourney...to how long their coach has been there. Nobody gets fired after the transition to D1 basketball so what is your point?

What does that have to do with anything? Who has ever gotten fired once the transition was over?

Sounds like some people have already expressed their concern to Schafer over the abundance of "Vice Presidents" on campus. That would be a good start.

This is what makes me nervous, too. We have seen this show before. Outstanding goalie all year with excellent defense in front of him possibly skewing his greatness. Get to the Regional Final or Frozen Four and they give up 4-6 goals in the biggest game of the year. Why? Possibly because the goalies defense is now getting broken down by better skill players (BC-BU) or a different "system" (Yale?) and he can't consistently make the one-on-one save.

Gotcha. So they are eating the 102k more than likely.

He was fired with one year left on his contract, like most coaches are.
