UNDhoops Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 7 hours ago, MoSiouxFan said: If we go with a Division II coach, then I believe that Ben McCollum deserves a serious look. No D-II coach has accomplished what he's accomplished over the past few years, winning two of the last three national championships, including a perfect 38-0 this season, and 7 of the last 8 conference championships, so he has nothing left to prove at that level. Plus, he's young (38), is from the Midwest (Iowa), and obviously knows how to recruit, as most of his players are from the Kansas City area, where he has a lot of competition from several other DI and DII schools in the area. Also, he's a two-time national coach of the year. Moving up from DII, he would probably get a bump in pay, even with what UND can afford to pay. I agree. He’s going to get a lot better job than this one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sioux24/7 Posted May 12, 2019 Author Share Posted May 12, 2019 So I know the job closes on Friday but when should we expect an actual hire? Do they have to wait for the job to close to even begin the interviewing process? It would be nice to get someone in to try to fill the remaining scholarships and we may end up having more spots too.

SiouxFan100 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 I am very interested in The Who for this job. equally interested in the how much for the head coach and assistants can we afford to be a d1 men’s bb team the money comes from a shared bucket help one program at the expense of another or grow all programs with additional resources Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Thinking ahead here: so when the new coach is hired, will he clean house of all of the assistants or will some be retained? If so, who would most likely stay in your opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND Fan Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I would think that Grabowski is mostly likely to stay. However, if the new coach wants to continue to have a foreign connection, Mihailovic may be retained. That said, if the new coach doesn't have any UND ties, I wouldn't be surprised to see him bring in an all-new staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMSioux Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Wish him well - he had a tough transition to work through, also his style was a little different, the constant pacing on the sidelines made me twitch. Also tough to follow Rich Glas's personality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no insider information to say he is Chaves favorite, but anytime you go undefeated at ANY level, that is impressive. 38-0 just this past season. Chaves NEEDS to put the “full court press” on this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missouri Southern in the same conference coached by Jeff Boschee has split wins/loses the last 4 seasons. 38-0 is very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UofND-Alum Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Coach McCollum certainly has won...but is he the right fit? No ties to area. Recruiting the region is key. Minnesota and Wisconsin have been great for UND over many years for high school recruits. ND prospects are limited year in and year out....I would think Chaves would want to pursue a coach with strong experience in recruiting Minneapolis prep prospects especially. The same could be said for Boshee who name has been mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that recruiting in the region is key but it’s foolish to speculate hat McCollum or Boschee wouldn’t be able to do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 I hope they can get a coach in by the end of the month or early June. Lets hope UND nails this hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofND-Alum Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Your right, on the recruiting, fair enough....they will have to learn the landscape was my point. Some coach that has been in region of Dakotas, MN, WI and Iowa, would have a relationship advantage with AAU and Prep coaches, which I believe to be a plus. Heck, the transfer recruiting experience comes into conversation as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UND-FB-FAN Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The ol’ Locality vs. Ability argument is a good one, but having followed UND for too many years, I lean towards ability now. I don’t care If the candidate has ever been to ND or even the Midwest, I just want the best ability. Now, if you can have both, great! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodak78 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Tom and Brad had a 22 minutes podcast. I couldn't save it with my phone. Interesting conversation between the two on potential candidate. No mention of Been M. My guess Boschee or Herbst. They mentioned Saul. I don't see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would bet one of those three will be the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
