So I also reached out to Ben McCollum and surprisingly received an email back. Not much to it just said he read my email and wasn’t sure what his career will bring.

Richman.... more like Poorman!!!! IALTO

As someone who is an idiot in this, what makes SD be in such better position to pay their coaches than us? Does hockey have to do with that?

Maybe you know something I don’t but it was my understanding he was a big reason for that.

Phil, why don’t you just apply?

He was here for what 3 years and was the primary reason we got Q and Geno, arguably the two most talented players to come through here in some time.

I agree. I was a big Walthall promoter the last few years but now that there is actually an opportunity I would be cautious. I think he’d still be a great hire but right now my top candidate would be Coach G.

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/basketball/4607077-10-names-watch-und-basketball-coaching-search Here’s Tom Miller’s list. Mentions most of the names thrown around here besides McCollum. A name that I haven’t seen mentioned here until Tom’s article is Ben Johnson (assistant at Xavier). I really like coaches with the Minneapolis connections because that has to be our main source of recruiting. Also mentions Herbst as a Bubba like hire.

https://www.sbnation.com/2018/1/30/16950794/ncaa-transfer-rules-changes-coaches assuming this rule went through, it would appear if the coach leaves they don’t have to sit out unless they go to where the coach went. My main concern would be Marlon followed by maybe Rebraca.

I have to imagine we will see some attrition although that’s to be expected nearly every year it seems. I don’t believe they just get a free pass to leave and play immediately though if they transfer at the D1 level. Edit: I will trust what @SWSiouxMN says on this one.

I have faith in Chaves.

Who are some people you would like to see next? Just a small list of possible candidates that I can think of would be: Gameli Ahelegbe Chad Walthall Jeff Horner Dean Oliver Ryan Moody

Who do you think his guy will be?

Wakey wakey.

Chad Walthall

Yeah I misread the post thinking it said for him not for program.

Raising his salary won’t make him a better coach.

seem to notice a coach missing

I just want something to break regarding this. Sounds like there’s been rumblings for a week or so. I have a feeling though that it will be all smoke and no fire (pun intended).

I disagree with that. Idalski still had a winning record at UND while both Jones and Mussman are at about the 47% winning pct.

Shhhh I think he’s trying to make sure nothing bad leaks before he’s gone.

Maybe trying to stir the pot? Although I think it’s a weird thing to randomly start up. I would guess the poster knows something.

Please elaborate....

You’re probably right. I don’t really know a whole lot about him but interesting nonetheless.
