Greg Paulus is nothing if not determined.
When the former Duke point guard's NBA dreams weren't fulfilled, he tried his hand at football, quarterbacking for Syracuse. He moved from there to coaching basketball, joining the staff at Navy. He once again found himself jobless May 9, when Navy head coach Billy Lange left to take an assistant coaching job at Villanova, and his staff was not retained.
Undeterred, Paulus has found himself another job. Last night, Paulus confirmed to WSYR-TV in his hometown of Syracuse, N.Y., that he has accepted a position as video coordinator for Ohio State.
The position could be a stepping stone for Paulus to get back to an assistant coaching job; Chris Carrawell, for example, held a video coordinator position at Duke before being tapped to join women's head coach Joanne P. McCallie's staff as an assistant next season.
Paulus will find himself in the awkward position of facing his former team this season when the Blue Devils travel to Columbus, Ohio to play the Buckeyes Nov. 29 as part as the annual Big 10/ACC Challenge.
