Good for Paul. Unless I am mistaken, Hartford is transitioning from D1 down to D3 but it's a great opportunity for him.

Good for Paul!

If someone told me 10 years ago that Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf were going to become assistant coaches at the college level, I would have thought them insane.

Congrats to Paul!

Great news for Paul! It also may mean that Paul got his bachelors unless the NCAA doesn’t require all D3 coaches to have a degree, unlike D1.

They are still D1 for a couple more seasons.

Paul and Devendorf for life!!!! Good for both.

I assume Paul is already headed home to Buffalo and Hop is driving from Washington to get him back to Hartford?

Thanks for this post. Might as well pick up some tickets ($15 bucks each for front row and plenty of tickets always available) and wear my Cuse gear since the place is about 10 minutes from my home.

Watching Boston U-Hartford on ESPN + right now. Paul looks sharp on bench in nice suit. Happy for him. He's vocal on bench and animated when Hawks make a good play. A rugged warrior for Cuse, enjoyed watching him dominate boards as an undersized power forward.

Watching Boston U-Hartford on ESPN+ right now. Broadcaster said this is their last year in D1, will be D3 starting next season.

This says they will be a d3 conference member next season but doesn't officially begin until 2025. So, whatever that means.

Hartford finds its Division III home

The University of Hartford made waves when it announced it was moving from Division I to Division III. Today, the Hawks have a Division III conference to call home.

Good on him. Sounds like a professional with the suit and all.

He was looking sharp.

6'5" and leading your team in rebounding. that alone tells me this dude is a let's get down and dirty worker.

This was posted in the daily articles thread yesterday, but I thought it deserves a standalone post. Really happy for Paul.

I expect JB to invoke Paul's name after Bell and Benny do another game with a no show on the boards. He cited Marek once this year already, "He was 170 pounds but would still grab 12 rebounds." About Paul he would say, "He was only 6-4 but he would contol the glass for an entire game."

Paul is a great guy and a true giver. He was friendly to all students. I was fortunate to get to know him while he was at Cuse!
I hope coaching works out well for him!

That story Paul told about shooting threes against ND on the Devo podcast was an all-time classic.

In spite of the vibes he sometimes gave off, Paul really did care. My favorite memory of him was on the team bus after the six-overtime game. Even though we had won, he was very hard on himself, walking down the aisle, loudly repeating: "I couldn't dunk, I couldn't dunk, I couldn't dunk." He thought the game should have ended a lot earlier if he had made only one of his many missed dunks that night. (He shot 8/23 that night, and many of his misses were attempted dunks).

I remember he missed a couple of layup attempts at the end of one of the earlier overtimes [or got blocked a couple of times], and was very hard on himself about that, too, despite the win.
