The Official Extend Dave Paulsen Thread

[sleeperpick]

No matter how many temper tantrums you throw, Paulsen isn’t leaving any time soon.

Fortunately, our president and AD aren’t petulant children.

I can't make the vcu game this year.. would love for you to make the trip up and have my seat.. already have $20 towards your gas up that Jack Strop collected from me last game. DM with a name so I can let will call know.... I am sorry I don't take people who clearly don't watch games, and don't spend money on the program seriously.

Situations you use to defend Paulsen are skewed, stats you use found to be fake half of the time. I get it you like the guy...

You were right to tell me to knock it off about Reuter and personally attacking him.. I have done so and tried my hardest on that (only once posted about him when somebody said he was the best player on the team vs Duquesne which is top 5 stupid comments on this board)

Not sure where you got the idea that I don’t watch or attend games. You clearly have confused me with your buddy DJ3.

I live in Richmond and have a job that requires me to occasionally work in the evening, so I don’t get to as many games as I would like. I watch every game either live or on DVR.

I also have a child in college, so I’m currently a very small donor. Hope to increase my giving once my nest is empty and I have a couple nickels to rub together.

I would take up your offer for the vcu ticket, but I already have one for me and one for my son. Thanks anyhow.

I don’t disagree with this, but my point remains, as a fan base we have the duty to have these debates. We should embrace them and too many times you shoot them down and criticize fans. Truth is, you can make all the excuses you want, but you can’t be happy right now. Understood if you didn’t take Paulsen’s expectations seriously but to say all expectations were shot because Grayer got hurt?! Come on, I like the kid a ton, we chat with him (still today) and promote the hell out of him but how could you keep Greene off the floor right now? He’s not a bench guy, it’s clear as day. So is Grayers loss that massive that we throwout all expectations? Again, we’re not pointing to fans expectations, we’re not pointing to assumptions we’ve made, we’re pointing to things DP has said on our own podcast. Should he be fired, will he be fired? Nope, but he should be held accountable by people who pay money and time to the program on message boards, twitter and other forums.

I’d argue with his development of Kier and Greene and others but it’s simply not worth it. I like the kids, I don’t know why they specifically developed, I know that when I ask them they give me multiple reasons.

Jim, have you ever talked to our ADs?

No, I have communicated with them occasionally via Twitter but haven’t talked to them in person. My sense that Dave’s seat is cool comes from conversations with others within the program and university.

I’m confused by your comment that you don’t know how Kier and Greene have developed. Players obviously have a large role in their own skill development — they have to be willing to put in the work — and there are outliers who overcome poor coaching to develop themselves, but it’s obvious if you watch certain coaches long enough whether their players generally get better or worse over time.

Paulsen is the former and Hewitt was the latter.

I’ve already acknowledged that I’ve been too ardent at times in my defense of DP. Not my interest in shutting down debate about his performance — I just would like it if those discussions came with context and perspective beyond the most recent winning or losing streak.

There will be things to complain about with any coach we hire. Larranaga hung a Final Four banner but he was far from perfect — his teams had regular ups and downs even though they were competing in a far weaker conference — and he’s the standard by which all other Mason coaches are measured.

I think it would be hard for anyone to argue our program isn’t generally moving in the right direction. It’s far easier to forget how low we were just four years ago.

Personally, this shit is taking to long. Too many early whiffs on recruits cost us time. Not only did The Virus hurt our program, but DP is moving too slow at fixing it. We all know where program was after Westhead. So dont give me this crap we were a dumpster fire when we experienced the inferno. DP had better players on the cupboard upon his arrival but couldn't keep them. Coach L had zippy and took his first season of losses and brought impact players in.

DP had no pipeline except for Patriot league level talent. Brad should of seen that.

Man, Jim and Rick have some message board stamina! After one post, I need several hours to recover.

I just take one little green pill and I can post furiously for hours.

 

[gmujim92]

If posting continues for more than four hours, consult a doctor.

In my college days, I could post all day and night, have a cup of coffee and then start posting again. Thanks to the little green pill, Everpost, my wife has trouble keeping up with me.

Do not take Everpost if you are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems, including nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, isosorbide mononitrate, and some recreational drugs such as "poppers". Taking sildenafil with a nitrate medicine can cause a sudden and serious decrease in blood pressure. Contact your doctor or seek emergency medical attention if your erection is painful or lasts longer than 4 hours. A prolonged erection (priapism) can damage the penis. Stop using Everpost and get emergency medical help if you have sudden vision loss.

You should not use Everpost if you are allergic to sildenafil, or: if you take other medicines to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, such as riociguat (Adempas).

Do not take Everpost if you are also using a nitrate drug for chest pain or heart problems. This includes nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, and isosorbide mononitrate. Nitrates are also found in some recreational drugs such as amyl nitrate or nitrite ("poppers"). Taking sildenafil with a nitrate medicine can cause a sudden and serious decrease in blood pressure.


To make sure Everpost is safe for you, tell your doctor if you have ever had:heart disease or heart rhythm problems, coronary artery disease;a heart attack, stroke, or congestive heart failure;high or low lood pressure; liver or kidney disease; a blood cell disorder such as sickle cell anemia, multiple myeloma, or leukemia; a bleeding disorder such as hemophilia; a stomach ulcer; retinitis pigmentosa (an inherited condition of the eye); a physical deformity of the penis (such as Peyronie's disease); or if you have been told you should not have sexual intercourse for health reasons. Everpost can decrease blood flow to the optic nerve of the eye, causing sudden vision loss. This has occurred in a small number of people taking sildenafil, most of whom also had heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or certain pre-existing eye problems, and in those who smoked or were over 50 years old. It is not clear whether sildenafil is the actual cause of vision loss. Everpost is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known whether sildenafil passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby. Do not give this medicine to anyone under 18 years old without medical advice.

How should I take Everpost?

Take Everpost exactly as it was prescribed for you. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take this medicine in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended.Everpost is usually taken only when needed, 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. You may take it up to 4 hours before sexual activity. Do not take Everpost more than once per day. Everpost can help you have an erection when sexual stimulation occurs. An erection will not occur just by taking a pill. Follow your doctor's instructions. During sexual activity, if you become dizzy or nauseated, or have pain, numbness, or tingling in your chest, arms, neck, or jaw, stop and call your doctor right away. You could be having a serious side effect of sildenafil. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.

Tonight was an embarrassment equal to any Hewitt provided. In prison terms, vcu ra*ed us and traded us for a pack of smokes when they were done. We were/are their bi*ch. In other words, we were the alter boys, they were the priest. Still believe in DP? Because we just got DP'd. No heart, no desire, no strategy, no skill, just a willingness to get our a$$ kicked at home.

Told you for years, we suck. You never listen to me. LOL

 

[Walter]

I doubt he gets fired but we would have to win the tourney before I would support giving him an extension.

 

[Patriotsince81]

I can't make the vcu game this year..

We missed you because vcu fans were in your seats.

 

[JimP]

Team has improved bit by bit in the A-10. Granted, if the team manages to beat GW and finish 11-7 I regard that as no better than last year's 9-9 in a relatively crappy A-10 this year.

Paulsen isn't going anywhere. The recruiting has gotta get better though. What did the ever wise Hewitt say? Give me Jimmy and Joe's, to hell with the X's and O's.

Mason is 18-41 against vcu all time and 0-10 in March. Mason has always been vcu’s bitch.

 

[Mason2005]

We need to put this in perspective. You run a sales company and you hire a guy and he's paid the most . He promises you increases sales. After 4 years all he does for you is break even sales. Your other employees, who are paid less, out produce him. Do you keep him for another year or fire him?
