So hoopster, in your opinion what would Jones have to go next year in order to be fired? I just wish since hoopster believes Jones is such a good coach that some other school would come calling.

I could not agree with this more.

There is a scoreboard....

Is there any hope left that we could see a coaching change?

One thing that I noticed about NDSU that I like is that they all wear the same shoes. It's a small thing but makes them seem like more of a team. We have players wearing all kinds of different shoes. Really not a huge deal just something I noticed.

It would be terrible. Just a feeling I get nothing really behind it.

Makes sense. I think Shields could be a candidate too. Reminds me of the Gentry situation a few years back. Could have probably received more playing time and isn't from the area.

On the Herald Live Chat today somebody asked about possible player defections from this team. Tom Miller responded with, "With a tough season like UND just experienced, I wouldn't be surprised if there were some defections." I am just wondering who some of those candidates could be?

Well it's looking like one more year as most of us expected.

This is exactly my fear. I think we are going to be stuck in a rut.

Because Jones 17-17 record is soooo much better.

Where is gfhockey? We need his inside information.

The players people would worry about are Hooker, Cashman, Shields, Seales and Crandall. If any of them decide to move on, fine. One step back to take 1,000,000 steps forward.

If anyone leaves because Jones gets fired, fine I would rather that than have to suffer through another year of watching his teams.

Do the Jones defenders honestly think we can't find a coach that would do better for us? Are you kidding me!? Come on now.

I would agree with that. I'm in the boat of moving on but I still think it's unlikely but more likely than it was earlier on.

Last game of Jones!?

That is honestly one of the better commercials I have seen produced out of Grand Forks. I enjoyed it!

My question is why do more fans show up for a game at the Ralph rather than the Betty? Doesn't really make sense to me other than the games at the Ralph seem to usually be advertised a lot more.

I was just saying he's a junior. It's not a given anyone will be back....

I just don't even know why we have to post in this. As I said before, if you have any sort of basketball knowledge you would know that our record would be better with a different coach. We just keep repeating the same thing over and over. 3 years of above .500 basketball is not acceptable and should not be at this university.

Lost to an Adidas team.... How?

He's back next year.

Do you have a list of players in the conference you would take over him? Obviously Harvey, probably Bolomboy, and the transfer at Montana but I honestly cannot think of a lot of other players. The guards from Sac State are nice but I believe Hooker will be better when he's a senior, may even be better now. Senglin from WSU could be put ahead of Hooker too but I have not seen that many players come to the Betty and make me think I would rather have him than Quinton. Yanku from NAU was also impressive but I would definitely take Hooker.

I hope Miami makes it to the Target Center only for the fact that hopefully their band will come and they play the Game of Thrones intro.
