At one point, when the other team was making their free-throws, Coach Amundson yelled out, "You guys are playing like crap, it was a waste of time to come here" I could not believe what I heard. His girls looked so defeated. His comments to them were "do you know how to dribble?" Do you know how to throw a ball? Do you want me to draw it on a piece of paper? Can you tell me why you have that stupid smirk on your face out on the court?
I have family in Mandan and there are comments from parents that they are unhappy about kids coming in from other schools to play for Amundson and the kids from Mandan, who have been on his teams in the elementary, middle school, and early high school are pushed aside to let these so called "stars" to come in and take over their place.
I know that Coach Amundson is thought of very highly but I have seen a part of him that can be very hurtful to these young impressionable girls.

I hope the varsity teams wouldn't be picked from only the kids who have been in the program since grade school. That would be a bummer to anyone who may have to relocate to Bismarck-Mandan for work. Those parents who expect their kids to make the team just because they have lived there longer than some probably should move to a smaller town where the growth of a school is slower. I don't know Coach Amundson but it sounds like he has really built up a great program that is trying to expose a great number of girls to learning solid basketball. Parents shouldn't take it as he is trying to set up his varsity teams of the future.
