South Dakota made adjustments but we have not adjusted run any kind offense to much individuals play just said one assist. Hutter gets us prepared then Mallory slowly through game reverts us back to what she has been doing for tenure here.  To where we are making turnovers and playing for our selves. I am so tired of this nothing changes. Val Sussex I can’t stand to listen too either has no concept of what’s happening on the floor and never even mention some criticism of coaching moves or what we are not doing.

Exactly . Looked like Hutter game plan to begin and Mal took over her game plan at half.

Was Chaves there how can you as head of Athletic department watch this and not even have some comment to fans of UND on performances this women’s basketball team has had last few games.  A division I team averaging over 20 turnovers and now a game with one assist for the game. Just those two stats you know we lost by double digits. How many games this season have we exceeded 20 turnovers? Also the team gave up some where in last part of third quarter. Also we didn’t have many shots at timeouts don’t want us to see what’s happening on the coaching either. I think this is worse this season of coaching than her first season when we won only two games we have enough talent to be better than this.

It’s obvious that Mal is holding this team back. She’s just not bright enough to get them thru challenging moments and calm them down to limit turnovers and also build them up to believe that they can succeed. Great coaches make adjustments and can turn the tide of any game- as witnessed tonite on the other side.

To be fair - I would be careful saying everything good is Hutter and everything bad is Mal. I do like what Hutter brings to the table and I believe we would be better if he was the head coach.

Unless Mal has a monopoly on poor coaching decisions, somebody in that coaching staff ought to be able to impart that endless dribbling is a problem for this team - I.e. 20 plus turnovers and no assists.  Teaching them during practice not to stare at everyone and telegraph where they are passing to should be part of the entire coaching staff’s job.  Helping to get these girls to understand a team defensive rotation concept where someone is not wide open every time down the court is a coaching staff’s role.  It starts at the top but they clearly aren’t getting much from anyone else either.  Sorry, but nobody on this staff gets a pass.  There is more talent on this team than how they play night in and night out.  25 plus turnovers on a regular basis?  I didn’t think that was even possible.  1 assist for an entire game.  By all means, let’s keep that offense…

Experienced coaching was on full display last night. In the first half AJ was visibly frustrated, but he never attacked the refs. He kept his always calm composure and used his experience to swing the game. He switched things up in the third and well, the rest is history. 

I am sick of Mal, game after game, the entire game, attacking the refs. Did she get that from being around Brewster? I wouldn't want to be a ref at one of UND's games if you have to take that verbal abuse every game. Are we seeing vengeful calls now? She needs to step back and start looking at her coaching inadequacies instead of constantly blaming the reffing. There is more talent on this team than we are seeing, these ladies deserve better.

It’s almost like Mal feels she needs to attack to refs to assert her self

To be fair I did think we got a few calls that were questionable and I dont mind a coach standing up for her players.   AJ has been in this league long enough that he always gets a few calls.  Plus I think half his practices must be teaching the girls how to flop.  The slightest touch and they are on the ground like a truck hit them.  I have seen that many years of his players, not just this year.  Refs in womens basketball dont like a girl falling hard and usually call a foul.  My opinion.

She has done nothing in college coaching.  Couple good years with a high school team.  We hire her and then extend her after many years of terrible teams.

I don't disagree with you at all. USD, SDSU & NDSU are prime examples. Flopping and exaggerated facial expressions seam to still work on refs. One minute a player (B. Meyer last night) is holding her face ready to cry and less than a minute later, laughing. She accomplished her goal!

I have absolutely nothing against a coach disputing a call. However, I feel it's the means in which they deliver it, that gets results. Yelling at the refs cross court is disruptive and demeaning to some, not to mention the players themselves. Sometimes a little subtle diplomacy goes a long way. Mal displays a mean attitude all the time and it's not doing her any good. Maybe she should try a little sugar? Just my two cents.

You are right I do think Mal does look very angry out there and does complain about every call.  When you do have an actual legit gripe, refs wont listen to you.  Yes BOTH Meyer girls are huge floppers and get away with it.  We had the Big Meyer center in foul trouble last night.  Prime opportunity to get her fouled out and we didnt take advantage of it.

My opinion Mal has learned nothing in her tenure as coach here when putting game plan or making adjustments to counter attack opposing coaches moves. I could believe point that assistant coaches aren’t doing there jobs but I think it’s case of head coach countering what your teaching and rewarding bad performance by playing players when they keep making these mistakes. To point of you as assistant just follow her lead. The reason I don’t believe it’s the assistants in Mallory tenure we have been through three different sets of assistant coaches. This problem is at the top and has gone on way too long. Chaves made this hirer which was mistake which we know now but big mistake was extending her contract for several years. President Armacost needs to step in at athletic department fix the department we need higher standards on performance not just student performance in classroom and community service but that we expect winning on consistent basis. then we need to compensate these individuals well and provide all resources so they can be successful. We have problem when we have loosing streaks of 5 to 10 years against our conference opponents and gap is not even closing with these opponents. I think this has to start at top of the department we have done this on academic side it needs to be done on athletic department.

Larkins today had 47 against NDSU  but the Bison won by 10 with controlling rebounds and only committing 9 turnovers proving we could have beat USD if we could control the basketball. The game is about winning shooting possessions and shooting good enough percentage to win basketball games. I watched SU game to see how they would play South Dakota.

I am too!!  I am so frustrated and if I can see why we’re loosing why can’t division I coach see it and if not that Athletic Director who responsibility is to have winning programs.
