NAD, how are you going to introduce yourself to DP. Or will he recognize you immediately and say, I am glad we are now on the same side.
HCFC45, hope you get the picture.

Great comments in the interview about playing Ralph Willard Holy Cross teams. "I was playing checkers while he was playing chess"! Outstanding hire! Coach Paulsen certainly has the background and record of success that we hope to find in a head coach at Holy Cross. Hope he now consults with Coach Willard regarding how to make HC MBB a championship team again. Happy to see that PVR and VPKH has selected an experience head coach.

NAD or HCFC45 should be in disguise, sitting outside on the Plaza taking pictures and providing first hand reports. 🥸

From today’s Hoop Dirt:
“In Yesterday’s DAILY DIRT II, I mentioned some names at Holy Cross, and said that a D3 head coach is “squarely in the mix.” I have it now from multiple people that it is Christopher Newport head coach John Krikorian. His CNU squad went 30-3 this season, and captured the NCAA D3 National Championship. In 12-seasons at CNU, he has gone an impressive 290-65 (.817). One more “outside the box” name coming – stay tuned…”

Maybe Coach K was on his way to see relatives in the area. 😊

Not really understanding the Crotty angle......unless it has something to do with a current player that was coached by him in AAU? ?? Maybe a current player will hit the portal if the new coach's style/approach is not to his liking. Four Magic alumni to HC, including Batchelder and Nugent. Six Magic alumni to Merrimack, two of whom transferred out. Full list here: middlesexmagic.com/magic-alumni/#]/ir;]Crotty's son went to Williams. If my timeframe is right, this would have been circa 2003-2006. The current coach of Middlesex Magic, Mike Crotty Jr., went to Williams and was coached by Paulsen. He is very familiar with the Hart Center, as he was a senior on the Williams team that beat HC, 78-71 on December 4, 2003.😤😡 Mike Crotty Jr.’s father, Mike Crotty Sr. Founded the Middlesex Magic. www.nytimes.com/2003/12/25/sports/college-basketball-at-williams-basketball-is-in-balance-and-on-the-back-burner.htmlmiddlesexmagic.com/director/ Joey Reilly also is a Magic alum, but he is only listed as Sacred Heart. Listed as a Magic alum who went to HC is a Joe Toomey. His name is not familiar to me as playing at HC. I see he is listed as Class of 2003.

Quite a contrast in the New England Football Journal regarding the outdoor conditions at URI vs HC practicing in the IPF.
Outstanding interviews with Dobbs, Sluka and Haskins, and of course Coach Chesney.

From watching the Bucknell WBB games this year, and listening to post games interviews with Coach Woodruff, there seemed to a lack of chemistry between him, the staff and the players. He did not seem to display any emotional warmth with his team.

Other than that, how was the trip? In retrospect, it was better than Mr. Lincoln’s trip to the theatre……✅

West Liberty in a 111 to 101 lost today to Nova Southeastern in the D2 National Championship game.
Bryce played a tremendous game with 32 points and 9 rebounds. Tough player, you can tell who he learned the game from. Guess it must have been fun pickup games in the back yard.

Indeed….
No desire for me to go back to Tennessee. 26 years ago on a business trip to the state, I got food poisoning, and on the way home, the plane was struck by lightning.

Callie Wright was formally with the Memphis program. I would believe she is happy she is no longer there.
