How much of the stuff we saw this year was just simplification to get the team on the same page with all the young guys? Interesting how they turned a page starting around late January. Hopefully they build on this next year.

Just need to pat myself on the back for this thread. I admitted I was wrong, and I hope you last holdouts will do the same.
It is time to make him the highest paid basketball coach in the Dakotas, he has earned it.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
Nope, he was a missed last second shot and a drubbing by SDSU in SF away from getting canned last year. He's earned the extension he received last year though. Let's see if he can reload like the Jack's have been doing or if it takes 4-5 more years to put together a top Summit team again. We will know the answer in 2 years.
Coaches are missed last second shots from winning and losing all the time, and NDSU was playing the best basketball during the conference tournament and would have beat SDSU regardless, just like they should have 2 weeks earlier last year. He's been the best coach in the Summit the last 5 years collectively. He has brought a team he completely recruited and built to back to back NCAA Tournament appearances, and he can pitch to any recruit that they have a good chance of seeing the NCAA Tournament in at last 2 of their 4 years on campus. If NDSU didn't do everything they could to extend him further it would show they care only about Football, and not at all about basketball.
It really does not matter if you extend him or not, coaches leave all the time whether they have a contract or not.
Important would be to maintain a high contract buy out.
FYI---folks realize this is a revived thread? I was not saying to extend him now; a year ago.....just want to be clear.....
I agree with you. His extension from last year bought him a bit of time. I think he's had a couple decent recruiting classes but I think he needs to come back with a quick reload to prove it. I'm not a DR fan, but appreciate what he did this year. Vinny and Ward have seemed like his guys forever I want to see what happens when they are gone. Is he able to bring some other guys along? And please develop someone who will absolutely dominate the boards.
