North Dakota Preps

Guys , gals whoever can help me on this. I am orginally from ND played high school ball there as well as college football. Been teaching and coaching in AZ for the past 6 years. Came down right out of college. I had to get out of the snow and cold lol. Basketball is not life down here by any means, soccer and baseball come first so its a different envirment. Family is all still back in ND. Curious on websites or openings that may open up in ND. I am a girls coach in the largest division in AZ. We have 2500 students and play at the 5-A level. Believe it or not I only have 35 kids for 3 levels. I have flown my kids back to ND for xmas tournaments the past two seasons. Great experience and they got to play at my old high school in front of a packed house. But I need to be in a more competitive atmosphere. We play in front of 30 people each night . The good thing about AZ is that I can practice all summer long after the last day of school. So we actually have practice starting May 30th to get ready for summer tournaments etc.
Anyways I do have a couple connections back in ND but thought maybe someone on here could give me a website etc. We have won back to back region titles and went to state this season. We have been 17-0 the last two years in our region and 29-3 over my 4 years here in region play. Just some info if any of it matters. I am going to post this in another section also I hope that is ok. You don't get any better hospitality then ND people.

opening for girls basketball coach in Minot, ND - coach retired as of now.

possibly one at BHS in Bismarck also - the way it sounds, parents aren't real happy with their coach. Just a thought

After MHS rolled over BHS it may be time to step down!!

Well my cousin played QB at Bismarck and my uncle coaches at Wachter Middle School. Any help on who I contact etc. Bismarck would be ideal , I am from Linton, ND my mentor was Dan Carr and still is.

Jim Haussler is the athletic director at BHS and CHS. He would be the contact..

There will be an opening at West Fargo and maybe Fargo North. Probably Devils Lake, I think Privratsky mentioned that he was only in it for a year.

I wish Meier would come back to St. Mary's. He could rebuild the program like he did the first time and at least people appreciate a good coach when they have one.

Thanks guys any contact number for Jim or anything in that regard. BHS would be great but I can't count on that opening although I would like to be in the Bismarck area. It does not have to be a class A school either. I am also an asst football coach at the varsity level and have coached baseball before. I teach PE and Health which I assume a teaching opening has to be open in that position in order for them to hire you.

Baller:

Are you calling Meier a good coach; did you watch the same game last night as the rest of us??? Get real, good coach..he was forced out the first time i recall at SMary's;;he had four returning starters back this year..get real, Metz would have probably won state with his team this year if he would have gotten the job seven yrs ago there.

NO Meier was not forced out at St. Mary's, he left to take a counseling job in the public schools and I cannot blame anyone at St. Mary's for doing that because teachers do not get retirement or benifits so its pretty hard to build a future there. I do call Meier a good coach and you can say what you will, but when parents are at home and in the stands coaching their kids to do the opposite of what the coach says its pretty hard to get them to do what you want. If parents would butt out and let him coach, his team would have been much more successful, instead they pace in the stands and scream obsenities at the coach and the players on the floor.

Well left a message with Jim's Sec. I am not sure if he has a direct number. If you guys here if Meier is leaving please let know asap.Any other help from you guys would be great. Any contact info for West Fargo also who to contact

Isn't West Fargo's coach Lynette Mund? Is she getting out of coaching? And if so, why? What happened?

Realize without the Feeney's at BHS what would they have???? Probably a 2 and out at Regions in my opinion.. SMary's with the two Feeneys and Messer would beat BHS hands down but i guess the Feeney's thought public school would be a better shot at a title..Give Amundson that BHS team for a yr you would get your title BHS!!take it to the bank!

Mund got engaged over Christmas and is going to be moving.

Thanks for the feedback guys , like I said before any help I would appreciate it. A class A school would be ideal cause right now that is where I am at, A class B school I would not pass up if it was the right situation. I have left messages to all the secretaries as no one had a direct line. Lets hope I hear something

There now is an opening in boys basketball at Mandan High School. You can contact Lorell Jungling at Mandan High School 701 - 663-9532. Our coach resigned to spend more time with his family - he has 2 small children.

Thank you for the heads up

Bumping this up in case anyone hear's anything else. Resume went out to Minot on Friday regarding the girls job. West Fargo seemed like their asst was going to take over. I guess she played at Iowa St or Iowa. Plus WF did not have a teaching opening in my area which I will not take if thats not an option.

Topic locked. We're really not a job search site.

I'd just add that if someone had some useful information, they could send CHS a private message or an email. Just use the buttons located below his name.

Thanks.
