UND won a championship under Jones. I would say that shows that you can win and there should be higher expectations. UND in my opinion should not be considered a top (or even average) school in the Summit though except for coaches performing exceptionally well. Coldest place, worst location, hard to get to. And to make it worse Chaves doesn’t appear to have a clue what he is doing, so no real leadership in the department. We agree on Chaves You can miss me with the location stuff though. Basketball is a global game. It’s not like football where you have a pipeline to a few states. The Summit player of the year is from Australia and had college stops in Arizona and Washington. He’s now playing in Brookings, SD. He’s not playing there because of the location. The only pipeline I think a UND coach should have is to the Twin Cities. It’s not as easy with St Thomas being D1 but there is plenty of talent to go around in that area. 2 4 Quote

Expectations almost everywhere are higher than 36% on the average. There will be some low offset by some high years. We are missing the high years lately. My expectations are also higher because I can see other teams like Omaha this year succeeding. I believe they were picked last preseason but their coach put together a (so far) successful season. Why can’t we? I see ndsu succeeding. Why can’t we? Why does sdsu succeed? Why can’t we? Interesting question. Not sure I answered it but it made me think Quote

Could also argue that the talent has been there the last couple of years but Sather has seemed to fail as a coach when it comes to schemes/X’s and O’s 2 Quote
