The Sather Conundrum

[SIOUXFAN97]

pretty sure they admitted this new setup was a cost saving measure ....simple as that...

the new setup was quicker to put up and down ....

[SIOUXFAN97]

how about converting the oly rink into a practice facility?  the mens hockey team don't share with the "women" anymore and oly rinks are non existent anymore in d1 pretty much...

I don’t think making the game day atmosphere or the fan experience worse should ever be the solution

No Conundrum!!!

Lots of talk of summit being down - but that T Thomas team is better than the top in most summit years.

This conundrum thread needs to be officially terminated - there is no conundrum.

 

Extend Sather!!!!

If we compare the last few years of his tenure with the last few years of previous coaches of other UND sports, you see he has a couple things going for him.

Most importantly, he doesn't have a name or nickname that starts with B. Secondly, he continues to recruit solid players.

Between Brewster, Bubba, Berry, Bernhard you can see their quality of recruits the final couple of years really started to drop. They seemed to get complacent and let social media and the facilities do the recruiting for them.
Sather is still getting decent talent even if it's leaving after one or two years.

Will be interesting to see if UND decides not to renew the Summit Mens Basketball Coach of the year.

I have to give credit where credit is due. I said they haven’t beat anyone in conference play and they beat a very good UST team. Now go beat ndsu twice. As for the rest of the summit league, USD is 4-4 while starting 2 players they recruited in January from the local Walmart

You’re not wrong when you say the Summit is down. But I don’t think it’s fair to discredit Sather because of it. That’s the league they play in. That’s the most important thing is winning within that league. Winning in the non-con is fun, especially winning some of those buy games, but in a 1 bid league it ultimately doesn’t really matter. I don’t know I think we just have to enjoy it, they are fun to watch.

I’ve said several times how fun this team is to watch. I was saying that even when we weren’t winning games.

Actually... their highest attended game this year was a loss. So, maybe we only have 300 people show up like there were for the win over Winthrop this year.

Ouch. That should sting for UND to see that as their reputation of a place to coach.

That Winthrop atmosphere was special.
