"Reasonable, baseline expectation . . . every player should experience at least one NCAA Tournament."

I liked the question RP Jr posed and DP's answer. I think that every player plays in at least one NCAA tournament is a good starting goal. I would say that a second goal should be that HC finishes in the top three in the conference every single year.

After hearing this guy, I’d be surprised if Bo leaves.

Very, very impressive. Very, very strong on lasting relationships. Easy to see why he would ace any interview.
Did set a goal of having every player during their four years at HC play in the Dance.

Just so night and day from the last guy. Wish next season started tomorrow. People are different. I think CDP brings a lot to the table and anxiously look forward to seeing what he and his players can accomplish. Any guesses on the significance if any, on the number 23 on the jersey he and Kit held.

Well, he "won the press conference" but that has been done by others. However, his comments, enthusiasm and sense of humor make me believe he know HC and "he gets it" in a very good way.
Is the "23" marking the start of his days as head hoop coach at Holy Cross?

We'll have to see if any of unofficial assistant coaches snuck in to the press conference, and took note as to who was there from a team and coaching standpoint.
Impressed that VR was there.

Loved a lot of what he had to say. I look forward to seeing the passion, charges, diving for loose balls, etc. I appreciated what he said about neutral fans sitting high up in the Hart arena. I had a number of students and colleagues jump on the football bandwagon the last couple of seasons because of the energy of Ches and Smith and other coaches combined with the energy and effort of players. You could tell the football team loved each other and played for each other and the "name on the front of the jersey." Looking forward to seeing that with men's hoops.

I wondered, too, if this was a subtle hint that he could remain on the staff.

And DP said they will be on the court tomorrow, and that practices would be open, so perhaps one of the unofficial assistant coaches can journey up to the top of the Hill,............

As this was streamed on YouTube, it will be available on YouTube until HC takes it down. I counted around 200 viewers.

200? Heck, it's a start.

For people that were at the press conference. . . were there any players there?

Looking forward to the days soon when the regional press pays attention to HC basketball again. Don’t know if anyone caught but at the end of the press conference Paulsen said to Kit, “that was quick.”

Tom, I was not there, but Paulsen directed specific comments to the players I heard the same thing and believed there were players there. After his meeting with each player individually already (to get to know dach of them), the first team meeting is this afternoon.

Don’t know if anyone caught but at the end of the press conference Paulsen said to Kit, “that was quick.” Unfortunately, there really is only limited regional coverage these days. College sports has now long gotten the short end of the stick from the major news outlets in these parts.
