Will you guys please put GMU05 on ignore so I stop having to click "show ignored content" to make sense of the threads he/she/it posts in?

Think about it in this perspective, if Edwards were here with L, he'd still be here.

Likely true. I'm far more sure that he would have handled the search for L's replacement far better than TOC did, but that's really going way out on a limb.

Telling him to f**k himself is way too fun

Good read in case you haven't seen this. Sounds like things continue to get better behind the scenes. Paulsen is doing it the right way

But can they spot a contact lens across the court? That should be the top requirement for this position!

I like what Paulsen is doing too but find it weird over this excitement, every team has them. A former player and a former employee here, hooray? Maybe I'll care when we can beat GW for once.

It isn't about being excited or anything, its about the fact they are letting Paulsen have the resources needed to build and sustain a program. Read what Jim said above.

You couldn't be more wrong. These guys will have a significant impact by taking duties off the assistant coaches' plates and giving them more time to spend working directly with the players and hitting the road to recruit.

Scouting has gotten much more sophisticated in college basketball, thanks to technology, and the size of a top-level A10 staff has grown along with it.

vcu has both a director of player development and a director of student-athlete development, in addition to grad assistants, student managers, strength coach video coordinator, the DOBO and on-court coaching staff.

Those guys take care of a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff that the four coaches don't have to worry about.

It might seem like overkill, but just like with facilities, it is what it takes to compete at the top of the A10. It's great that Edwards recognizes that and is giving our staff a chance to fight without one hand tied behind their backs.

You are conveniently giving grad assistants actual assistant coaches tasks to fit your narrative. The assistants do a hell of a lot more than you giving them credit for, they don't pass off all that to the grad managers or whatever they are called.

Hey does anyone know if we got another walk on? I noticed a new guy in some of the pictures yesterday.

So how many years does Paulsen have left on his contract now?

Still 5? He signed a 5 year, got extended a year after year one, got extended a year after year two...so I think still five years.
