Fire Dave Paulsen / Hire Tony Skinn

[sleeperpick]

Our group of four (used to be double that) has made a conscious decision that we will just be attending weekend games after lasalle on weds. Sad honestly but when the beers before are the only good part it makes it easy. We might watch the games together but there is no reason to waste any more money on tickets. Watching this team play is just not entertaining and it’s kind of brutal to be honest. Going to be the first games I’ve missed in 5 years when I was in the area.

but but...this is the best team he’s had in his 6 seasons as head coach.
Sorry you had to come to that decision but it makes sense.

I mean it’s obvious that mason hiring coaches with “paul” in their name is a legitimate problem.

0 for 3 should be enough to never go down that road again.

Going to go ahead and get the fire Paulsen masks printed. Will post the design here later for any who are interested in one. Maybe can get them in time for the La Salle game?

I might actually put a mask on and go to a game just so I can wear one of those.

On second thought, I really don’t care enough one way or the other to put that much effort in.

 

[bravesfan]

Yep, time for Paulsen to go. I'll donate to Mason basketball when it's done.

Only other things I'll consider donating to until then:

Jim Larranaga Court in honor of CHRISTOPHER JAMES JOLLAY
Dr. Gunnie "Fan" Experience

As I watched the sh&t show today I realized that we're probably 5 years away from being relevant/competitive, that's assuming we get a new coach for next year. If DP is extended we might as well give up and move down to the MEAC. We currently have no coach and only 1 or 2 A10 quality players. Barring a miracle we are screwed for the foreseeable future.

It’s been a while, but I think I am at the point now where I’ve surpassed the desire I had when I wanted Hewitt fired with Dumpster Dave.

 

[Patriotsince81]

In an effort to energize the GMU basketball team coach DP institutes a new look offense.

I was actually thinking about this. If the next coach somehow keeps like 5-6 players, including the upperclassmen, there’s enough of a base that if you bring some transfers to bridge gaps and recruit up for the next 2-3 years, you can turn it around in a reasonable timeframe. Remember the next coach will also have the locker rooms and the practice facility to help them.

But I’m merely day dreaming.

Went to a winery with my wife instead of watching this one. When you loose us (Masonhoops members), the program is officially dead.

If the next coach talks about a long-term rebuild I’m gonna punch something.

Nope, strictly comments about how great the team looks in practice from the new coach.

 

[JPgmuswim]

I commented on the Mason BB Instagram post that the players deserve better.

Wondering if they delete it, or if it’s fine since I didn’t say I wanted Paulsen fired just insinuated it.

 

[Falco]

Mock me all you want about my grammar, but I was smart enough to know Paulsen was trash a long time ago.

 

[gmulion]

With how many kids transfer now and no longer having to sit out a year, it should not take 5 to 6 years to rebuild. Get the right coach and it can be done quickly.

The loss today brings DP's career record to 87 -87 overall, 40 - 54 in A10 play, and just 50 - 38 at home.

How many of those 87 wins were vs cupcake teams??

Many

if you're serious... here are the non conf cupcakes wins during his tenure. Doing the conf would take more effort than I am willing to offer right now

15/16: 4
16/17: 7
17/18: 5
18/19: 6
19/20: 9
Current: 4

Totalling: 35 wins against non conf cupcakes.. obviously did not count Ole Miss, Okie St, Penn St, Northern Iowa, Penn, New Mexico St and even Nebraska for @MasonFanatic So some of those could also arguably count.

that is pretty damning
