And yet ESPN thinks he’s an authority on college hoops. He’s a f*cking moron.

Seth Greenberg got fired because he couldn’t get it done, so he feels for Dave.

"State of the Program: Where do we stand now? Paulsen thinks we’re close to the top four, but not there yet.

'I think if we get everyone playing well on the same day, I think we can beat anyone,' Paulsen said. 'But the big issue is consistency across the board. And that’s a subtle thing, so clearly we’re not there right now. And yet I think we’ve shown stretches in every game that we can be. So, it’s just a matter of getting more consistency from our veteran guys. I think what’s key is getting a little more consistent productivity off the bench. I think that that’s important in being able to go on a road in a tough environment and finish plays.'"

 

[GMUgemini]

In my mind, the last time we saw all players playing well on the same day was against Duquesne last season and we still lost. So definitely not close to top 4 yet.

caveat: he didn’t play Greene in that game

double caveat: what happened to the XJ from that game?

He remains delusional to the bitter end.

Well, Paulsen is right, but that's the very definition of what separates top-tier and medium-to-lower teams. Consistency.

Every year, a ton more has to go right for the lower-tier teams to ascend...there's always a chance, but there's almost no room for error.

Richmond, meanwhile, can still lose a top guy and still be in the mix.

LaSalle can flash all the wins they want against the top four, doesn't mean they're close to being top four.

I mean, the Raiders beat KC, so they're really, really close, to SB-caliber, right?

I will say, a10 tourney is definitely more wide open than most years, at least. But the odds of us making a run...come on.

I am honestly wondering at this point if he gets that or not though. Like I assume that a coach at his level recognizes that’s 90% of the battle from average teams and good teams. Not just at the mid major level, but at every level.

In the search for consistency he has jacked up his rotations, which surprise surprise leads to more inconsistency. Wild to watch it all go down, all while he avoids accountability for anything like it’s covid.

 

[GSII]

He said similar crap in the past. And then at the end of the season he admits he doesn't have the right type players to compete in the league that he is in.


We don't have anybody that's a decent on ball defender it starts there. Teams go right down the lane on us and get a bunch of easy baskets. AJ seems like he doesn't care anymore. Calixte doesn't have much. The new guys he won't play. Our shooting is terrible, we can barely make the free throws. We can't beat anyone and that's the truth.

I mean, in his defense AJ and Greene are the least consistent seniors I've ever seen in my life (without debating how much of that is DPs fault).

But absolutely. I would hope...he gets that. I mean, any year of DP if we're 100% healthy when no one else is, we have a lot of decent older players, etc, we're gonna be borderline top four and show flashes...

Uh, IDK, maybe just hopeless optimist or something. Over the decades I've heard a ton of hopelessly optimistic takes from people who I consider very smart people...even in the good years.

Hasn't recruited enough shooting. Hasn't recruited anybody who can score in the post consistently. Has recruited small by position...including a lot of smaller guards. Doesnt use those guards to pressure ball. Hasn't recruited enough standout defenders....and many of the guys who can score are outright poor on defense.

Oduro and Kolek were steps in the right direction but mere fact that their skills are so necessary as soph and frosh is terrifying.

FT shooting may be the only thing he's kind of somewhat blameless...not like a coach usually can regress his players there even if he tries.

Let me translate that for you:
If ALL of our players play a perfect game at the same time we have a chance of beating the best teams in the league on one of their average days.

I believe this is what happens when a 14 seed wins against a 3 seed in the NCAA tournament. It’s fairly rare and doesn’t mean that team would be a top team in the league of whatever P6 team that beat on that day.

 

[Falco]

As a head coach Seth made the NCAA tournament 3 times in 22 seasons.

Granted he was snubbed a lot.
But the point is still valid.

He also spent years in the ACC where half the league makes the Tournament.

For 6 years we can't even smell the Top 100. Wow...Unreal.

Writing is on the wall Brad. Your move
