Paulsen should kiss the A10 commissioner on the mouth if he doesn't get fired after this game for gifting him the easiest reschedule in the league to let us steal a higher seed on the easy half of the bracket and cover up just how bad we really are.

Yep. They should have had us play all the top seeds so they didn’t cannibalize each other. We would have folded easily against SLU, Davidson, and the Bonnie’s.

Once DP beat GW I would say 100% he was coming back but the margin of victory in this one is so absurd I think it puts his dismissal back in play.

Lame duck now the most likely scenario though.

Pathetic, is the only way to describe this team. Regardless of the lack of talent Paulson cannot continue to be their coach. Six years too many, same with Edward's.

Yes. If it’s a talent problem. That’s a Paulsen problem. If it’s not a talent problem, that’s also a Paulsen problem. Jordan Miller the only one who looked like he belonged today.

The only thing Mason basketball related I care about this offseason is when Dave gets fired. Anything beyond that is irrelevant. Recruiting, transfers, etc. none of it matters.

First, we send an email and let the athletic department how we feel. And then we wait.

I said my peace about a month ago but I encourage you to email if you haven’t. I also tweeted and said my peace.

Email, tweet at Brad, hold a sit in at Ikes, whatever you have to do to let them know that what we saw tonight is unacceptable and the AD needs to hold someone accountable for our subpar achievement.

48 hours. That's the max time it should take to fire him at this point. If it doesn't happen this weekend, it's not happening.

Would like to know why Malik Henry stayed on the bench for the whole season. If paulson thought he was not ready then why didn't he redshirt him? For a team with lack of height and athleticism it made no sense. They should fire Paulson right after the game. He goes out with an embarrassing performance.

it would probably be Monday, but if not Monday it might be after the a10 tournament.

otherwise it won’t happen.

Just to be clear, everyone was technically "redshirted" this year because this season didn't count against anyone's eligibility.

Meh, inform him tomorrow morning, give him 24 hours to get with the players and family, Sunday to pack up the office, and announce it Monday morning.

Hewitt was fired on a Monday in mid march. I think the 15th or so.
