What I don't understand is why this isn't breaking news in all the outlets, TV, radio, etc. - because if not for this website, I wouldn't have known about it and I live in Mandan and had a daughter that used to play basketball for Mandan.

Over the years it's been amazing how generous and supportive the townspeople and businesses have been, with all the fund raising that needed to be done for the off-season travel each and every summer to build the program. Much of credit goes to the coaches for the success the Mandan team has achieved, but without the community support, through fund raising, all the costly summer trips needed to gain that higher level of experience, would never have been possible.

So, when Coach Amundson leaves, do you then think there will not be community support for the team? I myself am surprised too that this has not leaked out, but apparently there are some extremely tight lips. However, I don't think the community support for the team will quit.

I would think it would be a great opportunity to follow the boys program and bring in a new face to take over the program. Since it is a very well-known program, Mandan might be able to get some very strong experienced coaches to apply.
