wonder if these highly ranked minny boys know who paul's replacement is and is good with it...?

Sure.... a state with open records laws decided to forego those to hire a backdoor replacement and are trusting high-school kids to keep it a secret. 

That also assumes the AD isn't feeding information to the local media on a regular basis. There's a reason you see the Herald with articles ready to go after announcements.

Or Chaves already gave him a secret extension?

How bad of a look would that be for the program/University?

A move like that would essentially be the end of the program.  It's basically at rock botton right now.

Extend the man!!

UND has a curse of its coaches doing just enough to merit extensions which keeps a program in its perpetual funk. However, pre-season results foreshadow this might have been the best we are going to see for awhile.

I will preface this by saying that I think the summit league is terrible and results should take that into account. However I think this is the best coaching job Sather has done in his 7 years here. This roster is not good (which is on him). Garrett Anderson has been a disappointment. Marley Curtis has been disappointing. Micah Curtis isn’t even on the team. Yet somehow they’ve found a way to maximize every other player. King is doing King things. Kraft, Guga, Greyson, Reggie, Wylee all playing some great basketball in their roles. A3 has his moments.The new defense is perfect for this team. The offense has found ways to score the ball. I’ve been saying all year this team is fun to watch. They are easy to cheer for. I did not expect them to win many games but after seeing this first weekend of Summit League games, I don’t see why they cannot compete for a top 4 spot

I feel the exact same as you. Preseason looking at this roster I just didn’t see many D1 wins. They have definitely proved me wrong, and that’s with Anderson and the Curtis twins being underwhelming. I hadn’t planned on making many more games this year, but I will make it a point to make it back to the Betty multiple more times this year.

Extremely fun to watch. I think you’re accurate in most areas and I think a big part of why they’re playing this way, especially on the defensive end is Ty Danielson. I mean still gave up 80+ points yesterday in OT but the defense is flying and fun. I think it’s extremely important we keep him around. I guess that would probably mean keep Sather around unless we do the bold thing and just give the keys to Danielson, which I’m not necessarily opposed to…..

Very well said!!

I really want to believe. I really want this season to end in a top 4 and do well in the tournament. I was at the last 2 games and the SDSU game was awesome. The OR game was a bit of a roller coaster. I do think Ty Danielson has a LOT to do with the success we've seen, and the enjoyment of watching. I also agree with Good Good with the state of the Summit League. I'm not willing to say Sather is doing his best work quite yet. Their have been times in the last few years I jumped on the bandwagon, only to see the wagon turn over and burn. Again, I hope a top half finish in the Summit is on the horizon, but im not convinced. I'll still be cheering, enjoying, and hoping, but it's too soon to know.
