Paulsen played basketball for @WilliamsCollege and would later lead Williams to the programs first, and only, National Championship.

Coach Paulsen left Bucknell after seven seasons (2008-15) to coach at George Mason University and Fordham University.

In 2023, Paulsen took the head coaching job at Holy Cross; in his second year leading the Crusaders, he's led the program to wins over high major programs, and the teams first conference tournament win since 2019. The Crusaders are currently 5-4 with 4 more games until Patriot League play begins.

The first ever local Hong Kong woman basketball player to play in the NCAA, Yannie Chan, joins this week's episode of "Not Even D2". Yannie committed to Emmanuel College in February of 2021; a decision that will be remembered for Yannie and others in Hong Kong forever. Yannie was a GNAC all-conference player as a freshman. The next year she would be the 2022-23 GNAC Player of the Year. Just before her sophomore season, Yannie competed for Hong Kong's national team in the Asian Games.

Due to injury, Yannie did not compete in the 2023-24 season for Emmanuel. After the year being sidelined, she would enter the transfer portal where Division 1 schools became interested in the Hong Kong native. Chan committed to play for Iona this summer, and will compete for the Gaels during the 2024-25 season.
