Another poor program on campus

This may be the next coach to be canned.

There’s know way we turn this around until we clean up ball possession can’t have 20 plus turnovers a game. I know Hutter as coach knows how to clean this up  has been coaching to long not know Mallory needs to use her assistant coaches to get this fixed. This team can be good we have talent if we can play as team and start playing smart not forcing tempo and work on getting good looks after they work there offense on inside to outside game. If this doesn’t happen we’re finish in bottom  three of the conference.

I just got done watching the Marist game and I don’t know how but this team has regressed, but we are mirroring like last year. We have gotten away from team play into everyone looking for their shot especially from the three. Owen’s has gained playing time but I think when she is in there we get away from our offense.  What happened to Volmer playing time I know she is freshman but she gives us length like Horne does only way she can learn is with some playing time.  Mallory better look at film this week because she got this team going in wrong direction to much individualism and not team play.

Wonder if Zink-Carlson has more alumni positions open?

 

or maybe we need a women’s athletic director too

There is a player on the bench with a walking boot. Might be Volmer.

This is what happens when hiring internal overrides hiring the best candidate. I suppose budget also came into play.

Why has Ibrahim played only 6-7 minutes the last two games? She wasn’t in foul trouble. I thought she was looking pretty good

[ND-fan]

I looked at the box score and I was surprised with Ibrahim minutes but also with number minutes by starters when we are only half done with preseason to conference play.  This is young team and team that needs to build some depth and it appears we have decided on  starters and  rotation of several players all players with most playing time or experience with exception Schiller who played minutes like Kacie did last year did today. It showed in our play today we had two starters combined 1 for 20 shooting. It also showed in our defense we were slow covering and got out rebounded badly. Tell me how this improved our fundamental basketball when we were tired playing back to back games. Mallory talked about being ready for league tournament how about building team that learns to play game correctly we will get better shape as season goes along this long season . How’s building some confidence, this young team and if they start loosing like we are now with 5 game losing streak it just becomes learned pattern and does nothing to playing fundamental game. Mallory is going back to her history just play experienced instead developing some of her new recruits this is going to another frustrating year. Mallory hasn’t improved as coach in her five seasons and  has gone through number of assistant coaches but we end up with same results.

We beat Weber state 73-69. We got way ahead and hung on. Played pretty good. 
Hurst and Beal had great games.

I have enjoyed following the women’s team this year. There are some athletes that are good and could be really good. The next two years could be pretty fun.

Make the associate HC the actual HC and it would be even more fun! 

Totally agree.  Mal still doesn’t get when to substitute and when to call a time out.  Blow a 20 point lead and wait until it is damn near tied before finally recognizing there is a problem and calling time out.  Plus not seeing what is going on on the court.  Played well in the first half.  They go zone and we continue to play an offense designed for man that allows them to sit in one spot and watch us hand it off 32 times at the top of the key with no accomplishment.  Finally switched to get the ball in the middle but way too late.  Stopped the ball movement that got us the lead in the first place.  In subbing, she seems to have her subs set by time - somebody hits 3 in a row or makes great defensive plays?  Doesn’t matter because the preconceived game plan says sit.  For Gods sake, keep the hot hand in the game and get her the ball.

Warming up to Mal some

[ND-fan]

I believe Mallory has her best group of assistant coaches since she has been head coach. My analysis of this we’re getting better 3 point shooting you can see girls are getting themselves set to take shot by getting squared to basket and getting their feet set to take shot. They are better at playing defense and seem to be getting better as season progresses. Third we are running some assembalnce of offense but as mentioned not changing to defense but this goes to Malory she is running the team on the floor. She might need to do more on floor strategy with her assistants. The reason this team has been more fun to watch we’re playing as team and we’re playing better  fundamentally and correcting things. The last road trip we struggled but coming home I see they worked on things in past didn’t see this happen. I also think why we’re seeing some players like Beal making strides as player.

Down 11-2 to northern Colorado halfway through the first qtr.

Terrible start to game and here we go again with the turnovers. Step forward and now to steps backward.

😡 😔 

[SiouxFan100]

We had 68 possessions and 28 of them we turned it over - over 40%

[ND-fan]

How do we continue to have this amount of turnovers after this many games into the season. Is it we don’t work on pressure defense bringing the ball up and continue to make poor passes, and finally how many travels with the ball.  This has to go to the head coach and her offense philosophy and what she expects in executing the offense. I come to conclusion because we have gone through at least three groups of players with same results under Mallory. I have hoped Mallory would turn corner we would start playing smart and fundamental type of game. Jordy Collin’s was hired at about same time Mallory was hired who’s program is better now very little doubt he has brought his program to second in Summit behind SDSU. I look at roster we have, and the talent we have we should be playing with NDSU not playing to four or five in the Summit. The question is do you think Mallory can turn the corner and become coach people thought she could become when she hired. I have been flipping on this question myself and knowing that this group I believe has been working on this and I see step or two ahead then we go back step or two. But my patience is wearing thin and I believe we should be one of the top schools in women’s basketball if Roebuck had been coach now he would have not put up this kind of play.

Was Mal a chavez hire
