I forgot we even if field teams..we still have women's don't we??
Re: Has Richman Run this Program Into the Ground??
Are we searching for a new women's and men's head coach yet? The interest in Bison basketball has to be at a 50 year low. I feel bad for the players since this season is going nowhere with the current coaches. And then it will take years to build things back up assuming we get better coaches.

Where have you been since weve gone D1? We have 1-2 of these on the schedule every year for home games. Not including exhibition.

I think the men's team has the potential to be a Summit League contender as early as next year with the right coaching. They've got a solid 6'10" big man in Kreuser, a freak athlete for the SL level in Deng, a good floor general in Shahid, a slasher (albeit an inconsistent one) in Ward, and shooters in Samuelson, Horn, and Hunter. Griesel, prior to his injury, and Cook are playing as true freshman and have held their own as well. Next year will bring another skilled big man in Noah Christenson into the fold along with hopefully a finally healthy 7' rim protector in Meidinger.
All of those guys are back next year so if a coaching staff can develop each of them into better players over the next year (a novel concept I know) I think this could be a pretty darn good Summit League team. Having said that it's most likely going to have to be a different coaching staff to get that necessary development out of the players because the current coaching staff has given me no confidence that they can do it.

I agree with your post. This is a reason why I continue to try and believe we can be very good. But there is something holding us back. Hint Hint Mr. Matt Larsen

This is the first year I have not watched a game in December. I just can't bring myself to turn it on and watch DR stand on the side line with a scowl on his face.

Not sure when I'll see another Bison basketball game again.
Both coaching staffs need to go and the SHAC is crap.

Yeah I know and agree---you are being paid $200K to COACH this team---you should be smiling on the sideline for what you are being paid for the results you have provided

LOL...if he was obviously going to be extended it would have happened by now.
Not at all shocked though, the Bison media in regards to basketball is either completely oblivious to what is going on or they don't want to say anything that rocks the boat that would make it tough to get access or upset who cuts their checks.

That pains me since I really enjoy basketball.
There were about 20 people in our section. Made the drive by myself, but did other things prior or I would have stayed home. Halfway through the first we were reduced to talking about frisco and not really watching.
I’m not sure I can justify spending money for this next year.
The team did look like they were enjoying playing and they do seem to not have the same personal issues they had last year. At this point I don’t think changing coaches would impact the team one way or the other
