I'm hoping that in the coming years there appears a thread entitled something like "Who's Better - Paulsen or Chesney?"
Terrific job by KH, VR and the Committee.
I see good things on the Mt. St. James horizon.

Think we may see Fordham on future HC schedules?

A good part of the coaching community has a lot of respect for DP. A former coach whom I am still in touch with said it’s a great hire; he’s a good coach and even better person. Time will tell, but I think we got lucky with the hire.

If the committee and KH did their jobs (as I believe they did), this is more than just "good luck." Welcome, Coach Paulsen and, as you said, GO CROSS GO!

When Muscala was playing for Bucknell and DP was the head coach, we often and I mean often, heard NAD'S voice ringing in our ears at the Hart whenever an HC player got called for a foul in or around Muscala "WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING HIM?" as coach DP walked to the end of the bench grabbing his little cup of Gatorade seemingly with a little smirk on his face! Guess NAD will have to come up with a new one when DP gets a big as good as Muscala!!!

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.

I learned from an interview a few years back that Paulsen is a converted Catholic. His wife apparently was raised Catholic.

Spring is the season of renewal. Such a buzz... I can't remember the last time there was this much excitement about the hiring of a new coach. Wonderful! And, TBT I am elated, too. HC hired a successful, terrific head coach. He knows how to recruit and coach and win in the PL and possibly more. The campus must be abuzz. No doubt some alums with one foot in the ground have pulled the foot back and are now twerking in ecstasy. Ahem! GoCrossGo.

I noticed that a Paulsen GMU recruit who transferred to Miami, Jordan Miller, is listed as the third best NBA prospect in the Final 4. His biggest drawback is that he is 23, and some NBA teams will draft only ready made stars at that age.

Now there's an image I don't want to dwell on.

The son of one of my friends played at Williams for Paulsen. He and his family loved him as a coach and person...He played at Williams the season they defeated HC at the Hart Center....
A great choice!

OK, introduction and press conference tomorrow....
Now that the first piece of the puzzle is in place, the second piece is just as important if not more so than the first. That is, getting the right staff put in place! Without this second piece, DP will not be successful in getting the job done! Hopeful he is not required to retain anyone and can get "his" staff in place ASAP and get to work!!!
GO CROSS GO!!!
