Korngable will kind of always be underrated by not only the league but also by Yote fans.

That is a great question on Aspen. It seems to be a question for some other players as well. I think most of us would have thought she would be a significant contributor but it hasn't worked out that way.

When a team is down 24 points they are basically giving themselves less than a 1% chance to win. Of course they are not gonna quit and likely make a comeback. The point is don't get behind by over 20 points because even with a huge comeback the chances of winning are very slim. Probably looking at 0-8 against the top of the league. Is getting swept by high school gym Kansas City acceptable? Everyone can draw their own conclusions to that. Much of the reason the leading team in a 20 point game loses their lead is because they take their foot off the gas. Once they feel their lead is in real danger they get it back together again when the other team is gassed from the comeback. That is never a good formula to try to win and should really not be applauded. It makes being behind so far in the first place be excused to a point. The Coyotes are not a bad basketball team, they are just very, very mediocre when they actually play a decent team, if we can call Kansas City that. Kansas City is a budding rivalry for sure, LOL. I bet you’re fun at parties Please keep your posts on topic and don't focus on posters but instead on topics. If you want to make it personal please pm.

For what it's worth, Mike Henrichson said yesterday on Calling All Sports that Lee deserved COY again this year. Damn, with us being 0-7 against the top of the conference this statement by Henrichson is really an indictment on our talent. Anybody who feels Lee deserves COY must really feel he doesn't have a lot to work with. In college athletics a coach is more than just an on court coach. He or She is also responsible for recruiting so that should factor in as well to any COY discussion. I would give it to the Jacks head coach as he is undefeated in the league so far and will likely finish that way. That is hard to do on the Men's side. Whether Lee has done a good job or not is up for debate. What should not be up for debate is that he should barely even be in the discussion for coach of the year.

Why should the coyotes have to pay twice for the travel assuming they were in Macomb when the postponement was announced.

How about this. Make Western Illinois pay for the charter or have to forfeit since they were the reason for the postponement.

Very good news indeed. With all these games in a short period including the Summit League Tourney it looks like the Coyotes are going to need to really manage the players minutes and work on that depth.

At the 9:45 minute mark Coach Lee was asked if we should have a handshake line. I liked his answer… youtu.be/mUeCu7V0-WUI also like that answer as well. Promoting good sportsmanship is never a bad idea.

If this does indeed happen it would be 2 years in a row that the Coyotes would be screwed by Summit League scheduling and/or tie breaker procedures. Don't we all just love this league and how it favors the Coyotes. The Summit totally deserves to lose the Coyotes from their league. Gosh how much I would love to get into the Valley all sports league about now. Herbster how about a call to their league office. Lets create our own path.
Even if SD doesn't intend to leave the Summit it would be super cool if they allowed info to leak that they were considering leaving to get a fair shake in the future from this league.

You continue to be the “tough guy” fan. Critical of players and critical of coaches. You somehow think your view is the gold standard by how one should be judged. You’re extremely hard on Coach Lee and it’s based on one fact. We haven’t made the post season tournament. Well then Craig Smith must be a horse crap coach because he never went to the NCAA dance. But oh wait. One Craig Smith is now making $2.5M a year coaching a PAC 12 team. So someone sees something in him. So the AD at Utah ( or Utah State ) must be complete idiots. Let’s have a poll letting us vote on that. Or let’s a poll on each regular poster in here on what kind of fans we are. Your “objective, but tough” standard should be applied. The poll would say something to the affect of: 1. Loyal fan cheering the Coyotes on no matter what and have had season tickets on a regular basis 2. Cheer on the Coyotes but I’m to far away to attend regularly but I donate to the program to help build it 3. Don’t go to games at all but “yeah I hope they win” 4. I only go to games if the teams are proven winners. Never buy season tickets because it’s cheaper not to. And I run my mouth 24/7 saying things that make me wake up in the morning knowing I have a superior view over all others because I know this (objectively of course ) stuff and have a better feel of assessing coaching or playing talent than any AD in the country. What is your investment in USD athletics that gives you the moral superiority to be so damn critical of every team we field? You may not give because it isn’t economically viable, I get that. But do you buy season tickets? Do you join the Howling Pack at the $100 level even? What is it that gives you moral superiority over every other fan? To be truthful, you are an AD’s nightmare. I would bet you scowl if things aren’t going as you think they should. In closing, I wasn’t a huge fan of the Coach Lee hire to start with. My reasons are personal. And yes I wish the focus on recruits wasn’t foreign, but as I’ve said before. This team is OUR TEAM. And I have to say to the non basketball mind I am, these guys have improved. They’ve made progress and Todd Lee has shown me he can coach. I’m proud of these guys. Todd deserves more time. These guys are winners. And I support each and every coach the Coyotes have. They are winners. Now would you please go buy a season ticket? At Frost Arena perhaps How dare you question Coyote Fan! No one on this board has ever brought the intensity or competitiveness to athletics that he brings. No one can match the legendary exploits of his storied athletic career. Those of us who are so satisfied with mediocrity should take note, listen and learn. As I posted for Yoteforever. Please keep the discussion to topics not posters.

So since recruits read this board should we just lie and sugar coat things. That is not the way I approach it. If praise is deserved praise should be given. if criticism is deserved it should be given. I would like to think we should hold our school to a high standard compared to other Summit schools. I think we should be top 3 or better every year and should have had at least one NCAA tourney appearance by now and a lot more than one finals appearance. That is just not good enough unless you have low standards period. The tourney being in Sioux Falls should be a positive but the Men's program has somehow turned that into a disadvantage if you look at their record there. 5-9 is 5-9 any way you slice it. Smith and Lee both have a hand in that. Other than Omaha every other former NCC school has been to the NCAA tournament including Northern Colorado and North Dakota whom SD was better than in the last couple of decades in D2. Isn't it about damn time that the Coyotes got to the big dance by now. It seems like the fan base, coaches, admin etc just don't really care as much about that as they should. The Coyotes have not had the type of teams that have stepped up when it has mattered most. That is a fact. Right now the Coyotes are 5th place behind Kansas City in the standings. No one cares about the Kangaroos and they play in a unglorified high school gym. So should SD be behind a team like that. Everyone can ask themselves that question. AJ or no AJ the Coyotes should not be behind them in the standings period. If that is OK with everyone than lets just stand pat and give Lee a lifetime contract. Based on Herbster's history and the poll that was just taken now is the time to lock up Lee to a new 5 year deal as the highest paid coach in the league. You continue to be the “tough guy” fan. Critical of players and critical of coaches. You somehow think your view is the gold standard by how one should be judged. You’re extremely hard on Coach Lee and it’s based on one fact.

I just saw that. If this game is not made up the Jacks will win the Summit League. Wouldn't that just be the Coyotes luck.

For whatever reason other than the South Dakota schools the league just isn't committed to winning Women's Basketball. NDSU is a football school and UND is so overwelmingly hockey that the other winter sports just coast alongside without a real passion to make them great. As long as UND hockey is doing fine, UND sports is doing fine. As long as NDSU football is doing fine, NDSU is doing fine. USD doesn't have that hang your hat on type program. The Summit League is so very mediocre and I don't really see a vision there to make it better. Adding KC back to the league say all you need to know with the direction of the League. They should have never been let back in. It reeks desperation. Unfortunately Women's basketball doesn't drive anything. If it did the Valley all sports conference would be begging to get USD in.
