My wife has taught me that an obsessive need to always be right and win arguments at all cost is a barrier to success. You make a mistake, own it and move on.

My business has taken off to heights I could have only dreamed of before because I followed her advice .... and now she's a managing partner as well :)

DP is either:

1. just too stubborn and pigheaded
2. Terrible recruiter
3. Terrible in game coach.
4. Terrible assesser of talent.
5. All of the above

I am always going to watch games and support the team. But I will not, cannot blame anyone else who quits supporting this program financially or otherwise.

This is not fun basketball to watch. Our program is rotting from within. The bigger the game the worse we do under DP. The players have quit on him. He has lost this team. And his post game comments are just nonsense.

This game alone may make several players transfer after the season and make other prospective recruits change their minds.

I really see no light at the end of the tunnel that isn’t an oncomming train.

Brad needs to do some soul searching and make some tough decisions. His own future as a credible AD is hanging in the balance. That extension he gave to DP just looks completely unwarranted at this point.

He won’t be able to get a job as an AD at NOVA much less at another division 1 program. We thought he was Big Balls Brad, well then show some nuts and make some tough decisions. Next year will not be any better.

At least this post was made in the appropriate thread.

Looks like *gulp* DJ3 was er, ummm, errrrr — r-r-r-r-right. Mason needs size [and athleticiism].

All kidding aside, I testify under oath that DP is NOT as oblivious to the fact that his team needs more athleticiism. Coach Paulsen is painfully aware of his team's pure-talent deficit. Listen to GK's podcast to hear DP's honest assessment. Those of you who think that DP never owns up to his team's deficiencies and refuses to address them, well, you are flat out incorrect and naïve—or woefully, "overreactionary."

If you listen carefully to his interview, DP almost slips up and comes flat out and says we need better recruits. You can almost hear him catch himself before it came out. But yes I'm glad to know atleast DP and staff see it too.

He hasn't addressed them until now. It's great that he finally is, and I never thought that he believed we were on par talent wise with the rest of the league, but this is the first time he's really acknowledged any problems.
