Was briefly mentioned but his brief time at SLU can't be discounted.The year before he was hired the team was 3-22. He took the program to its first NCAA tournament appearance in 12 years in his 2nd year and went 22-4 in his 3rd and final season where they swept the league regular season and tournament championship. Recruited a senior class that made the elite 8 in 1998 (ironically losing to Williams in the elite 8) which featured several 1000 point scorers and 2 All Americans. Every SLU alum and fan still thinks very highly of Coach Paulsen today.
Love the stories! Thanks!
