Yep
What we always hear is: next year we will be stellar etc etc etc

Matt Larson pictured a mere two feet from the President at the White House with the football team. Maybe Trump gave him pointers on how to say "you're fired."

I doubt anybody was saying that last year. If you look at the season prediction thread from the preseason they've actually outperformed expectations this year (not that that means Richman shouldn't be let go).

The fact that they're young and promising this year is all the more reason to let Richman go IMO. He and his staff have shown an utter lack of player development during his tenure and I'd be genuinely excited for the possibilities next year to get this roster into the hands of a staff that knows how to develop players.

Exactly---pretty DANG important to develop players in your program! Can give multiple examples during his NDSU tenure where this didn't happen;
If AD and boosters are satisfied we know what to expect from a Richy led team--2 transfers from team each year, middle of pack in the Summit during regular season, early out in conference tournament, standing arms cross with a scrowl on his face during games, Richy preaching about culture and now using attack the process (wonder where he got that PURPLE), and producing a product that can be very frustrating for fans to watch.....

TRUMP---pointing at him Sunday night----YOU'RE FIRED---as he walks off the court in a disappointing loss that had a big lead 1st half to only piss away in 2nd half---sounds feasible right

Hell, the first UND BB game in a while, at the DOME, was a packed house on 12-11-10.

Felt more like a funeral though.............

Exactly, this roster with a new coaching staff would be a favorite to win the Summit next season

What's your point? This roster with the same coaching staff would be a favorite to win the Summit next season.

When you only sit and auger up 3 point shots all day. Just like the drop in free throw shooting. With lack of an inside game it sure hurt O-rebounds and free throw shooting attempt stats.
