remember Hewitt was the state of Virginia highest paid employee for the last couple years.

Really? Link? I thought the HFC at VA Tech was and has been.

WOW. Hewitt is an awful basketball coach, but dude knows how to get paid!

I am on board with this as is everyone else (except for one or two turds). Couldn't be much more happy. It seems almost too good to be true. So, I am just waiting until my calendar says 4/2/2015 to celebrate. Given what we have been through, I want to make sure this is not some cruel April fools joke that is being played on our fan base.

I was telling someone that I hope Paulsen does at Larranaga would do and go to Brion's after games and shake hands with people. Hewitt rarely ever did this.

That's because Hewitt never won at home. I don't believe Coach L came to Brion's after losses, but he rarely lost at home.

All in favor of naming the urinal cakes at Brion's after Hewitt?

Coach Paulsen meets the team at 1:30 this afternoon. I couldn't be more excited. We've replaced Hewitt's "cool" with Paulsen's "energy", & the team will be playing fundamentally sound basketball again.

He said he's hoping that his top assistant replaces him at Bucknell. If not, I assume that he will be the top assistant here.

He said that the process took about a week from the time he first met Edwards and meeting Cabrera last Friday on campus. He made his decision on Monday.

Hewies!

 

[gmuphan]

gotta say I was impressed, esp mentioning building a fundamentally sounds culture from within and how that will translate to success on the court. Also like how he mentioned our 2006 Final Four and embraces our past success. Hopefully this change will lead to a bright future!

Just curious, but did anyone make a donation today to the Pat Club? I did when we fired Hewitt, and will probably give a little today too... it won't be much, but it's more about what it stands for than anything else.

I have my donations done monthly (the mandatory donation for hoops season tickets), so later this month, they will get my money.

Paulsen to the Mason players in attendance: "You didn't choose me, but I chose you."

Solid.

Wow. Power Play

 

[Saul Pewitt]

I was not impressed. That suit looks like it was purchased off the rack.

Day one and we get decent coverage in the paper. Stroke a point for Coach P.


Broads, Buicks, and Buckley

Has couchcoach weighed in on the new hire?

That's just an AP story.

That's just an AP story.

Goff was there. I saw a photo of him interviewing Paulsen. He probably just had to write some worthless crap about soccer before doing his story on our press conference for tomorrow's paper.

Fixed that for you. It was really for Gemini, though.
