I think a more safe higher and better bet would be to hire a D1 assistant that has experience recruiting, and the last not some guy from the coast that he got tipped off from his son who is a graduate assistant

 

but risk reward

So I see you are old school.  Only hire UND Alum or Red River Valley residents.  Not a great strategy for a D1 School.  Maybe works for Hockey but not many other sports.  You probably were happy with D2 athletics.   Sometimes you have to recruit outside the state of North Dakota to be competitive.  I for one am glad that we got some new blood in here.  

Because they don’t have unbelievable VB coaches in the midwest, right?  VB is outstanding in this part of the country.

The last coach was an assistant coach at a D1 school and had experience with recruiting.  Plus a wife that play college for a power 5 school and was in Olympics.  Neither had a proven record like this hire.

I never said that.  What D1 Midwest coach that took a school with a losing record never making the NCAA tournament and turned it around in 3 years?   Tell me who you would hire then?   I am not talking Bemidji State or Moorhead State.   I suppose you think we should hire Faith Dooly a UND all star alum coaching Concordia now.  VB is outstanding through out the country.  Id say ND and SD is probably the worst when you look at players playing D1.  You obviously didnt read my post where I said where the new coach recruited from to come to New Jersey.
