GMU fires Paul Hewitt

[VRam]

You would think that they would have had their man even before they pulled the trigger on Hewitt. Appears like they still have no clue what they're doing.

Missed on a bunch and landed here. RT @WojYahooNBA: George Mason is finalizing deal to hire Bucknell coach Dave Paulsen, sources tell Yahoo.

Looks like the deal is done. This is an excellent hire for George Mason.

Dave Paulsen, who guided Bucknell to two NCAA men’s basketball tournament berths and two NIT bids in seven seasons, is the new coach at George Mason, the university announced Monday.

He succeeds Paul Hewitt, who was fired this month after four years and back-to-back 20-loss seasons.

Paulsen, 50, is a “proven winner and an outstanding basketball mind,” Athletic Director Brad Edwards said in a written statement. “He is a well-respected recruiter and developer of talent. . . . Combine all that with his superb academic pedigree, and we have a coach who is a perfect fit to execute our vision for a sustainable elite basketball program.”
