You can see the the thoughts of Dexter during recruiting in this thread: http://www.bisonville.com/forum/show...409#post639409
Burgundy was right on the money in post #1.
You gotta take these "Sky is falling" threads with a grain of salt... I bet this thread was started in response to a disappointing game. Well, I've seen enough game day threads to know that people react very emotionally... cripes, the SDSU game (that NDSU won) is a perfect example. SDSU was playing zone and NDSU wasn't hitting outside shots - result was a big halftime deficit and a lot of people were freaking out. Luckily the coach and team kept their poise or that'd have been a huge loss. Anyway, I guess people need to vent, and I bet that most of the time they cool down...

Yeah, this thread was started right after the UND in Fargo debacle. Just to illustrate how far this team came in just 6 weeks:
Paul Miller:
12/7 vs UND: 0 points, 0-8 FG, 0-4 3PT, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 TO
1/19 vs FW: 33 points, 9-15 FG, 7-10 3PT, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 3 TOs
1/21 @ WIU: 19 points, 6-9 FG, 4-4 3PT, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 0 TOs
Khy Kabellis:
12/7 vs UND: 2 points, 1-10 FG, 0-4 3PT, 1 rebound, 2 assist, 5 TOs
1/19 vs FW: 25 points, 8-13 FG, 5-9 3PT, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 TOs
AJ Jacobson
12/7 vs UND: 7 points, 3-8 FG, 1-5 3PT, 4 rebounds, 0 assist, 1 TO
1/21 @ WIU: 23 points, 8-11 FG, 6-7 3PT, 6 rebounds, 0 assists, 3 TOs
Combined:
12/7 vs UND: 9 points, 4-26 FG, 1-13 3PT, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 7 TOs,
1/19 vs FW: 64 points, 19-33 FG, 13-20 3PT, 12 rebounds, 9 assists, 6 TOs
1/21 @ WIU: 46 points, 16-29 FG, 10-12 3 PT, 17 rebounds, 9 assists, 6 TOs
Just goes to show that this team goes as their backcourt goes.
Or, how about this one....
Dylan Miller:
12/7 vs UND: 2 minutes, 0 points, 0-0 FG, 0 rebounds, 0 blocks
1/19 vs FW: 13 minutes, 6 points, 3-4 FG, 0 rebounds, 4 blocks
1/21 @ WIU: 17 minutes, 11 points, 4-5 FG, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks
Consistency is key but if those 4 guys stay at the level they've been at over the last 2 games or just have a minimal drop-off in play this team will be dancing in March.
Re: Bison Basketball Team ISSUES
The team has been on fire since the Denver game. Not sure what happened out there but it's been a completely different team since that game. Everyone seems to be playing with much more energy and urgency. Hope they haven't peaked too soon and can keep it up through tourney time.

The crazy part is Saturday's game was the first full complete 40 minute game we've played all season. Even against IPFW as well as we played there was a lot of lapses on defense so in my opinion I think we are still on the way to the peak. Guys like Dylan, Tyson, Deng and Jared are settling into the rotation and playing more consistently, especially Dylan, if he keeps this up and we can continue to shoot at a high level we are going to be a very tough team to beat down the stretch as I know Dave will get the defense back on track like we saw on Saturday.

I agree that the WIU game was the most complete game they've played this season. If they play like that they will be tough to beat.
Re: Bison Basketball Team ISSUES
Team issue was 100% coaching issue.
Dave Richman left a lot to be desired as a head coach this year.
- Random offense with no set plays to get the team easy looks when the offense is struggling.
- inability to develop a bench.
- inability to hold individual players accountable for their struggles. If a player is struggling, pull him for crying out loud.
- absolutely no adjustment for dams cracking throughout the game. Absolutely no adjustment whatsoever.
- call a Timeout for crying out loud.
The worst thing of all, if the biggest game of the year, it looked like he just quit on those players. The way they came out uninspired sure is a reflection of the coaching staff as well.
Just unbelievable.

Yup, can't argue with any of this. Our offense looked like a first game of the year city league team in the 2nd half!
