Dave Paulsen's Staff

[Pablo]

Welcome to Mason: Dane Fischer. Given that he's no longer listed on Bucknell's website, I'm assuming that he's now our men's basketball associate head coach - see http://www.bucknellbison.com/SportSelect.dbml?&DB_OEM_ID=32100&SPID=137628&SPSID=810387.

Jeremy Ballard hired as an assistant at Illinois State.

How about Tony Skinn for the third assistant or Director of Basketball Operations?

He spoke with Paulsen at some point. With Fischer coming, it certainly is a possibility. I don't think he'd take the DoBo job...he'd be better off continuing to coach with Team Takeover. No coaching with the DoBo job.

If Skinn has DC area AAU ties then yes but otherwise I'd pass

Only ties are as an assistant with Team Takeover. Not saying Tony wouldn't do a good job though. Wonder if the Mason gig would pay more than High Point. Maybe he should talk to Ahmad.

That's not a bad team to have ties with, that's for sure (current roster includes players from Gonzaga, DeMatha, Montrose Christian and Paul VI). But keep in mind, Tony grew up in the area (Tacoma Park), played at Hagerstown J.C. and GMU. He's player coached in the Kenner Summer League.

I'm sure his ties run much deeper than you are suggesting.

Is he ready? I'm not sure. But if we are looking for local recruiting ties, we could probably do worse than someone with ties to our Final Four team and who was an Olympic athlete.

Just show this video clip to recruits over and over again:

well according to this narrator in the video, that's not Tony Skinn, that's Akma Bakka Baddaka. Lol

Are we waiting on Bucknell so we can fill both slots or just one?

DP fills both slots.

 

[bravesfan]

DP fills both slots.

 

[Leesburg Chankenstank III]

DP fills both slots.

THis deserves more love than just hitting the Like button.

TwoFootTackle, you are a 7 foot hero in my book. Well done.

 

[KAOriginal]

DP fills both slots.

My god we need the t-shirt....

 

[Walter]

Didn't get it. Had to Google it. I will probably be fired now.

Well the thread was talking about our new coach's STAFF. It's not that far to talking about DP.

Looks like a great addition for recruiting the DMV!

I like this if true. Simpkins was an all-heart player with good ties to the area. He was featured today in an article about resuming the Georgetown-Maryland rivalry. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/...rps/bal-sp-terps-simpkins-20150422-story.html
