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

Plus on top of all that she looks like she just woke up some games.

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.
