Current Eph men’s basketball coach Dave Paulsen ‘87 is the new head coach of Bucknell. Paulsen is familiar with at least one Bucknell opponent, as back in 2004 the Ephs upset perennial Patriot League contender Holy Cross. Congratulations! Paulsen will be a tough act to follow after one national title, one second place finish, four NCAA appearances, and three NESCAC titles in eight years as head coach. Any thoughts on possible replacements?

And to give the first answer to my own question, I’ll throw out (although he may be waiting for D-I opportunity):

This is a very thing for Bucknell. It will be a very different culture for Paulsen, but I hope he adusts easily.

Dave is a good guy, and his success as a coach speaks for itself. I’ll be sorry to see him leave town.

I meant “a very good thing” and I should have added a loss for Williams. Too bad it comes too late in the academic calendar for proper farewells but perhaps his players knew before they left.
