I prefer that style myself… but any good coach that avg over 65ppg can be successful, only a handful of coaches that avg under 65ppg are successful in D1—it’s a dying style for most part. So unless a coach has already had consistent success with slower style I’d have zero interest.

Apparently Paulsen has a good shot at Northwestern. Their president was his boss at Williams.

The last 12 national champions have averaged 73 points per game all season (yes, that is a fact). So, if siena is serious it would follow the trend and hire a coach who comes close to that.

While Northwestern is Big 10 and every coach thinks he can win in any situation, the prospects for success at Northwestern are poor. Ties to the school's president may help in Paulsen's case. It will be interesting to see if he'd bite on that one.

It will be interesting to see if he'd bite on that one. I think he would have to jump if they offered. He's not going to have a ton of options this year, so it's go or rebuild Bucknell. He wouldn't have to win a ton at Northwestern to last there. Carmody got 13 years, Paulsen could easily make enough and last long enough to retire from there if he wants.

It will be interesting to see if he'd bite on that one. the pay is more obviously, BUT the prospects of winning there are NIL, which means eventually adios.............a great season in Evanston would be .500 in the league (if they could even accomplish that), and not sure too many coaches could get them there, they have academic standards that make it very difficult to compete in their league.................who knows what Paulsen is thinking (or if he has any interest there or anywhere for that matter), plus reports are coming out that Collins of Duke is super interested anyway!!!!!!!!!!

So unless a coach has already had consistent success with slower style I’d have zero interest. through his yrs at Bucknell, they have actually been in the 67-70 range offensively..............not for nothing, keep in mind the type of athlete you get in the Patriot league is likely below that of even the MAAC level kids...............the other positive thing at least for Paulsen, his teams are super good defensively, even though they lost to Butler, they didn't allow too many easy looks for the Bulldogs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff Capel is probably second. Paulsen is probably 3rd in line at best for that job. As for those of you that say Bucknell to Siena is a lateral move, I’d say any place that will double your salary is not a lateral move at all ( last public filing Paulsen made 170K) they did give him a small bump… to what maybe 200K ..so Siena from a salary POV would be a big jump

So I wouldn't go thinking they're gonna throw $400 - $500k at the new coach. Look for the new guy to start at $300, maybe $350 tops the first season. It would also foolish to assume Bucknell doesn't give Paulsen another bump now in an attempt to keep him. He'll approach $300k there.

I don't see why they can't start a Paulsen off at $400K - $300K for Toole, Patsos and Pitino Jr should do it. Whoever guaranteed Mitch's contract for four years should be fired. Two years and and an option for two more were more than enough. I know it's done and over with but I hope they learn moving forward. As I've said before I think the Siena admin is committed to winning but I question many of the decisions they make these days.

I think Paulsen can hold out for at least an A-10 job. Siena is too much of a lateral move for him at this point. Agree.
