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! Would that player be Jimmy Frew from St. John's? No, last name is Nelson…

Just announced via email. A good choice and a safe, non-risky one. Time will tell. Wish him and staff well!

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. I think its been covered here, but Cousy finalist and possible winner Tyler Kolek also a Paulsen GMU recruit

Surprised that several prominent posters have yet to weigh in ….., I posted the same yesterday.... Waiting to hear from bison137 and other Bucknellian supporters as well as Jared and the webinar folks.... Shocking that bfoley82 has not yet chimed in with some negative comment on the hiring of Paulsen. That alone tells you it was an excellent hire.

I think he's found already a technical foul from when DP was playing junior high school ball as well as a couple of overdue library books.

He did tell me via PM that he was once shooting a St Lawrence field hockey game and happened upon a men’s basketball scrimmage during which Paulsen BADLY mismanaged his timeouts in a close game.

Press release by Fordham on Paulsen's departure.
So laudatory, it reads likes a letter of highest recommendation!
I think an announcement of this nature is uncommon, perhaps rare.

"Not only is Dave a brilliant basketball mind, but an amazing person first and foremost." Yes, I don't think we would see "brilliant" and "amazing" used if this were just a boiler-plate send-off letter. Has everyone watched the 20 minute video of the podcaster's interview with Coach Paulsen? Terrific piece

For statheads, an interesting "four factors" profile of DP. Click on the pie chart to enlarge.

That offensive rating would surely have improved if GMU had not fired him and if Miami’s Miller, Marquette’s Kolek and the third transfer had remained there.

In hiring Dave Paulsen HC has hired a coach with a championship pedigree. Expect great improvement.

I expect improvement...the "great" can be added after the season.

Spent many happy hours at the Rose Hill Gym over the last 60+ years. Tough place to win. Thrill of victory, agony of defeat.

"Paulsen played a critical role in the best season for Fordham basketball in more than three decades" "Paulsen returns to the Patriot League, where he was a three-time conference coach of the year while leading Bucknell from 2008-15." "After Bucknell, Paulsen spent six seasons as an Atlantic 10 head coach, leading George Mason to four winning efforts, including a 20-win campaign in 2016-17. In three of those six seasons, the Patriots finished fifth or better in the final A-10 standings." I am really looking forward to the press conference!

I hope he’s invited to throw out a first pitch at Polar Park this weekend. Generate some interest across the city.

He already had Purple ties from his days at Williams… Glad he kept them in his wardrobe. He can now use them for HC functions as well as class reunions at Williams.
