Has to be the front runner in the first round of applicants.

[Bisonionette]

Why would she be afront runner. Never recruited never coached.

Exactly one would think the person has to have some proof of being able to recruit in the upper midwest and a history of coaching. Just cause you can play doesn't mean you can coach.

[Bisonionette]

I'd take Kip from IPFW from this first list. He has knowledge of the league, and has roots in the recruiting area.. and he has an idea of the current roster

Sherri Coale @ Oklahoma went straight from high school ball into that job and has played in 3 final fours and a national championship game. It's doable.

I just want to see us hire someone that has a lot of charisma and energy, and is a proven winner. I don't care what level they coached at--if you have those 3 intangibles you'll find a way to put a winning product on the floor.
I'll pass on Kip Jones. Unless it's a coach from SDSU, I don't want anything to do with another person that coaches in the Summit.

[BisonAccountant44]

Why would she be afront runner. Never recruited never coached.

She has been successful at basically every level imaginable for women's basketball both domestically and in Europe, been a part of multiple WNBA championships as a player, coached 1 season at Rice, coached 1 season in the WNBA under Bill Laimbeer. Out of the 30+ names on this list she has to be in the top 5-7 based on her last position alone.

I'm not saying hire her tomorrow just because she has WNBA experience, I'm just saying based on her experience she seems like a pretty decent candidate, and I am a little surprised to see a name like hers on the list.

Coale was an high school coach in Oklahoma....had lots of connections with prep kids when she stepped onto Norman. Around here, it might be the same if Brian Cosgriff (HS girls coach at 2x defending 4A champion Hopkins High) showed interest. Talk about someone with a pulse on the Twin City basketball scene.

As a student(who will not get to reap the benefits honestly, im old), I just want someone who can invigorate the program I have deemed unwatchable during my time at 'SU.

If they haven't coached before? Who cares? Really...it can't get worse. I just want something or someone to give us(as students) a reason to go to a woman's game. We suck. We have sucked since I got here. We have sucked for too long a time. Hint....the only reason to ever attend a women's game is if they are winning or have a legitimate shot at winning.....there is a reason people go to men's regardless of their talent level...men are fun to watch generally in comparison to women. Our women suck...why should I go watch?

Give me someone who gives me a reason to watch...and I will watch. I live a frickin' block away.

[Elephants Dream?]

So you're saying that you are strictly a "fair weather fan" and only support
a team when they are winning, and won't go near a team that is struggling.
You refuse to support the young women that you are going to college alongside.
Make sure you put that on your resume when it comes time to find a job.
Employers will be excited to have you on their team!

Hear you clucking ED but cut the kid some slack for being honest. I used my season tickets very rarely this year... This kid isn't the only one that deemed the product unwatchable.

Women's basketball is not a natural draw either. In the 90's I used to go to the women's games because they were more entertaining than the men's games a lot of the time. Now they just are not worth paying to go see.

[Castor Troy]

I would like to see some more candidates like this one. Am I delusional to think that we can land someone like this? I understand that her name would be most unfortunate for a man and it will garner many humorous quips, but my initial question is a serious one.

As Tantanka responded many of us had tickets (so essentially did support them financially, but not physically since we didn't show up). The mirror scheduling probably made it worse especially for us coming from Hillsboro, we didn't have time to be in Fargo every weekend. But when something becomes unwatchable (no fault of the girls themselves) people aren't going to watch year in and year out. We'd put up with this for 2 years too long I believe, it's like any product you don't keep it a quality and exciting product people will move on. Believe there would be plenty of women's basketball fans at the BSA if they put a team that consistently wins on the floor. There are so many families with girls that play bball in Fargo area, don't think getting fans back will be a tough draw if they play a full season with consistent wins and make a run at dethroning SDSU.

At this point, I would say that Lynn's wings have been clipped. She is a HUGE proponent of female coaching for female programs. I know that she gets a lot of credit for the hiring of Ryun Godfrey, but she really fought hiring him. She considered lesser qualified candidates just because they were women. Finally she gave in and is very willing to accept the accolades for hiring him. She will be guided to find the best candidate for the job.

Had to make sure I didn't stumble upon the Hitler Youth Board.

Joking aside - they battled at times throughout the year and kept games close especially against the #2 team in the conference in the tourney. Hopefully, coaching alone can convert a few of those close games into Ws.

Check out Tammy Bagby on Linked in. Extensive experience and an impressive web of contacts that could make for amazing recruiting reach. There may be better applicants, but I am impressed with this one, on paper anyway

1. The NJCAA resume is not overly impressive to me.
2. Does she have connections with the Minnesota AAu programs? Specifically, the programs located in the Twin Cities? That recruiting connection would be key. HEr and her hubby live in Grand Forks so I don't know if that is the case. The kids on her team are mostly Nor'landers.
3. She was a good basketball player in college.

But the last five years were disastrous. On the court.....

Off the court, rumors of mandatory bible studies, mind games, ostracizing players who didn't fit the mold of what she was trying to put together....

There's a slate that comes with this coach.....baggage. I think the opportunity to go with someone fresh is more enticing.

Let's not discount a SE Midwestern North Campus Community College if it is a tremendous program and could be a potential pipeline. It doesn't seem that the juco route is as popular with women's athletics though.

Certainly the trend of the list is somewhat disconcerting, but we all know there are coaches who won't apply unless they know they are a finalist for the position. There are a couple of names that are interesting. Bagby seems interesting. Jody Craig seems to have her own personal fan club (http://www.losaltosonline.com/news/sections/sports/191-basketball/45396-parting-shots). Killinger from Marshall seems to earn a lot of praise down in that area of the country but I don't get why he is listed as a Marshall assistant when it looks like he was 4 years ago and has spent the last three as a HC for a junior college. Light apparently has taken a community college in NJ and has turned into a really nice program with tireless recruiting. I don't know if any of them make D1 head coach material, but some should be on someone's list as an assistant in a larger program.

The one thing I can't figure out is why DeVries resigned at VCSU. I don't want someone who has quit a job and has not been coaching college basketball for a year.

Just another name to throw out there for fun/speculation: Emilee Gusso/Theisen. She was SDSU's recruiting coordinator for several years and recruited the heck out of Minnesota. She is now head coach at MSU-Mankato and has a 80% win percentage which includes reaching the NCAA round of 32 and a 10 point loss to the Gophers in an exhibition last year. Also, I would think Brewster would at least get a call although I'm not familiar enough with that rivalry to know if the Bison would ever hire someone away from UND (lol).

Also was told Amy does want the job but that's not going to happen.

Another new applicant for #NDSU WBB job is Doug Porter; assistant coach at North Central College in Illinois

I wonder if NDSU might be ready for a supercharged offense with record-breaking point production (more than 100 per game???) I checked out Porter's profile as head coach at Olivet (Ill.) and was intrigued: ( https://www.blogger.com/profile/04973458207198381141). Seems his team averaged those ridiculous numbers several times over the last decade (and they won a lot, too!) Could his prolific style bring some fans out? Something to think about....

I don't think it would be a mistake. You can't relive the past. If it had been half a season on an interim basis, that would have been fine. If she wants to get back into coaching, she should go someplace else. This isn't to be mean, it would just create too much of an awkward situation later. If it doesn't work out, you can't fire her and would she be willing to step down again?

She has one year experience as an assistant coach at Wisconsin Green Bay.

The Green Bay women’s basketball team will have a new face on the bench for the 2013-14 season as head coach Kevin Borseth has hired Megan Vogel as an assistant coach on his staff. A 2007 WNBA draft pick, Vogel comes to Green Bay after serving as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Division II St. Cloud State University in Minnesota for the past three seasons.

Excuse me, I beg to differ. Mike Jewett, long time assistant for Aaron Johnston, would (I'm not going to say it's a lock) probably be a strong candidate to replace Johnston.

If you think DeHoff was bad, Jewett would be 10 times worse. Come on people, have any of you been around woman’s basketball from D-1 to 15under AAU. They ran this clown out of SW state. You need to do some investigating from staff to player’s and parents.

You want to see HELL!!!! Thats how far this program will fall.

Jewett has done nothing at SDSU. He picks up used water cups during the game.

Comparing DeHoff to any SDSU coach is just silly. DeHoff was giving full rides that U Mary wasn't even willing to give full rides to. She was a good person and I'm sure a decent coach, but she couldn't recruit the midwest. You need someone who has proven they can recruit the midwest.

[dakotabison]

Call Mark Smith, the owner of Minnesota Stars AAU the biggest AAU program in Minnesota. I would be willing to say they will push kids away from NDSU if Jewett is coach. Just a little info the verbal abuse was so bad I think the school was being threatened with law suits.

Google his name. Read his excuse for leaving sw state.

In addition to her duties as the post coach, Walseth concentrates on special situations for the Lady Lions, while also playing a significant role in the team's recruiting and opponent scouting efforts.

My take on what is happening is that this is classic NDSU basketball protocol. Everything always has to be wrapped up in nice wrapping paper with a pretty bow on top. Such as the Erv and Amy retiring but with nice little, well-paying job in the atletic department waiting for them, and now Dehoff being allowed to stick around til the end of her contract, to the detriment of the WBB program who needs a new coach and identity asap.

Just get it done already!! Things don't always have to be perfect to be OK!! Get tiring!!

Interesting head-coach prospect - to have on campus - that would be the 3 time Big 10
Regular Season Champs Penn State - Assistant Coach Maren Walseth
Penn State beat Wichita State 1st rd NCAA's & Florida in the 2nd rd before losing to Stanford in the sweet 16.
http://www.gopsusports.com/sports/w-baskbl/spec-rel/030414aaa.html

I never did understand the lack of upper-midwest connections, for recruiting, (ND, SD, Minn, Wisc etc)
when Carolyn Dehoff was hired.

- Walseth is a Minnesota native, Bloomington Jefferson grad
- was an all-big-10 player at Penn State (6' 2" post player)
- former WNBA player -
http://www.wnba.com/playerfile/maren_walseth/bio.html
- played summer AAU ball for North Tartan (center of Minnesota summertime recruiting)

So the hope is that she is still connected on the Minnesota recruiting scene, esp having played for North Tartan.
She is about 5-6 yrs older than Shannon Nelson (Bolden) and Kelly Roysland, but perhaps knows them from their
also having played for North Tartan (thinking ahead to possible assistant coaches). Roysland has a chance to be
kept on for the Gophers, last I read, but if not, would be interesting to see considered.
Just thinking out loud here, but those 2 and others could help recruiting connections.
Walseth strikes me as the type candidate who is looking for the right opportunity, and I like
that she would consider Fargo. Sure is nice the BSA remodeling project is committed to.

Dave has been Saul's right hand man for the past 7 years, please don't compare "3rd tier" with Dave in the same sentence. With that note, I think NDSU has to due it's due diligence and look at coaches who atleast have ties to the midwest. Coach DeHoff had no idea when it came down to player evaluation in regards being division 1 material. Can't be upset with the fact that atleast they are finally bringing candidates in.

[coloradobison]

Who on this board is knowledgeable of Penn State Women's basketball who could really speak to what kind of a candidate she is other than what is in her bio. We don't know how involved in all aspects of the program she is.

Perhaps someone at http://pennstatehoops.com/talk/index.php/board,2.0.html can provide an answer as to how involved she is, what kind of a head coach she could be, how good of a recruiter she is.

[Ndsufan12]

I like that she has been in charge of post play--an area in which we are particularly weak. It was tough watching our posts have absolutely no go-to moves. This is something that can definitely be developed, even if our post players are undersized.
I also like that she's been a winner over and over again. We need that attitude to bring a different culture back to our gym.

Get on the block, get position, get pass, power dribble, drop step, and either make an easy two or draw the foul. It is not a difficult game. When the defense starts doubling, start making them pay by kicking out to side open shooters. You don't have to have huge post players to do this. Just post players that know how to use their bodies.

In my opinion, this is how the women's game should be played. You don't have the issue of guys flying over people swatting shots. It is about position and leverage. Men's college bb win with good guard play. The women win with solid post play. It's a different game.

I want a coach who can maximize post play. Then this team will be more consistent and win more often then not.

But can she coach. It's really that simple. I mean, Saul wasn't a post player obviously, so he learned how to coach positions or had help. What's this Coach's answer?! Should we assume Dorn asked and was satisfied with question/answer?!

I either miswrote something in my post (likely) or you misunderstood my point. I wasn't trying to compare Richman and Walseth directly. I was stating that Richman has no head coach experience (fact no?). Just because someone hasn't been a head coach doesn't mean they can't excel at it in their first gig (Tim Miles did we all know how that ended up, and yes I know he started at Mayville). Everyone has to start somewhere eventually. On the women's side I have to imagine it's hard to find coaches with head coaching experience that want to come to NDSU. As I stated I trust that Gene is involved in some of this process (at least he's stated he is so he's either flat out lying to us or he's involved in some form).


Richman was Saul's #1 assistant for 7 years. I would have preferred at least a main assistant.

Unfortunately we can't force our dream applicants to apply for the NDSU job, otherwise we'd all get exactly what we want. She has the local connections (or would hope there is some left over anyway), has had playing experience at all levels, and has coached, granted as a lower tier assistant but also at a high major school too though. Am I sold 100% no not really but I'm willing to give someone a shot. Nobody knows what the future holds, nobody can say for sure she will pan out.

[DORMIE]

I was told from a reliable source this morning that Carolyn didn't even know Jamie Berry when she was hired as an assistant. Hopefully Gene was able to answer any questions she had before she left and we get a positive support form Kelly Roysland, an obvious friend of hers. The new BSA could have a lot to do with her decision. Even though she wasn't looking for the job and we went after her, and the fact that her family and sister are in Bloomington, maybe she'll feel it's time to come home. We can only hope. Would hate to see this one get away.

When I was employed as a manager at NDSU we were unable to fill a position until the old one was actually empty. Two people cannot hold the same position at the same time. Carolyn resigned effective the last day of her contract, April 15. It's a State personnel policy... maybe a state law.

Let's see what happens after the 15th.

So much for that logic.
