Saul to Ohio

[ISXBISON]

I disagree. Open this job up. With the tourney run we may be able to attract some up and coming assistants.

Like Richman?

Saul told the players before it broke....really happy to hear that. I hate it when players find out from the media and not the coach.

Three quick pluses...

1. Has a reputation as a very good recruiter.

2. Has been at NDSU for over a decade and knows the system very well which will keep the continuity going on what is a very good thing right now.

3. This one is big...is from the area as is his wife (they both graduated from NDSU). They have 4 young kids and all of their family lives in the area as well. Point being that when he is successful, will take something pretty big/special to tear him away.

If he has similar qualifications to other candidates....let him buck.

On the plus side, he and Bjorkland were in an SNL tonight.

I saw that too. What was the segment? "NCAA Tourney...White guys playing basketball" or something like that?

[DIBISON]

Saul Phillips, Craig Smith, Tim Miles, yeah he might have a couple connections that could help build a staff...

Don't forget about the former Bison coach at Creighton....

[NDSUstudent]

Don't forget about the former Bison coach at Creighton....

And the former Bison assistant at UNI.

We've become a cradle of coaching.

These were pretty much my reactions to seeing them:

Bjorkland: "Yeah! NDSU!"
Saul: "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! "
