Fire Dave Paulsen / Hire Tony Skinn

[sleeperpick]

Saying he’s coming back doesn’t make someone a “Paulsen troll”. It’s mostly financial. Not sure why that’s so hard to understand.

I hate this coach with a passion. Think he is horrible in 75% of categories. But the percentage that he won’t be the head coach of this team game 1 next season is minuscule. So small it might not even be a real number

 

[p8triotfan4life]

75 percent and even higher if we lose in the PIG.

How much you betting?

Him being back next year is very unlikely. The team regressing has left a bad taste in the mouth of many who call the shots. Id put it at 25 percent chance he is back next season.

You act like we have some deep pocketed donors that give a shit.

Hate is a strong word.

You might be right but the big name assistants already left. I guess we will wait and see

There was only one good assistant and its Simpkins. Dont let the Fischer short term success fool you. He will suck a** too after Knight leaves.

Then they changed their minds. But He has to win multiple games in the A10 tourament to keep his job.

I speak to a lot of people in the know, and word is they are happy with the incoming recruits. To keep those recruits you have to keep the coaches

Or bring in a coach that can convince them to stay.

Not necessarily...and also, look at the recruits St. Joes and GW are already getting with their new coaches.

But sure, the new recruits...

I'm less concerned about the recruiting at this point than I am about the philosophies on offense and defense and the fact that our guys can't seem to go anything to stop the other team on defense (can't close out, can't rotate to stop the shooter, can't clog the lane, can't stop the pass, can't cut the ballhandler off, etc) And then they can't break a zone to save their life.

All BS. smh. They judge Paulsen on number of post season appearences and A10 wins.

Bird law guy gorentead it. What more do you want, peasant?

 

[By George.]

Would gladly take him back at Bucknell. We can work a trade. Our coaching staff for DP.

Deal

Not as if these kids are loaded with better options.

Issue being he didn’t really answer the question again, so our offensive identify is “inside out” or “post play” or “4 out”?

I don’t personally think the offense has to have a singular identify but it’s a question that many fans have asked us to to ask Paulsen about. He essentially answered he wants to be good at everything. I don’t feel that it’s necessary to harp on this question because injuries/youth do make it difficult to solidify a style. Fans were probably hoping he’d say something like, “we are a motion offense” but can’t imagine any coach is really answering that question in a presser.

I have a good grasp on the offense but also was curious how he’d answer it. We have reached the point of the season where Giant Killers make up the entire presser, if you have a legitimate question, let us know and we’ll try to get it answered. For reference, last presser had Bryan, Dom, Ron, Daniel, Natalie (VI Estate), 2 photographers loading pictures (one of which is XJ’s older brother), Brad and 2 Mason PR staff. No other media there. Brad rarely has missed a presser last couple years.

Curious that DP says he wants to play inside-out, but his recruiting doesn't match that philosophy at all.
