Kurt Paulson, who coached at the University of Montana for three seasons, will join the Oregon State men’s basketball program as the director of basketball operations, Wayne Tinkle announced Monday. “Kurt is a great young guy,” Tinkle said. “He was my grad assistant at Montana, left to go get some experience at the high school level and then was on my staff full time last year. He’s just a young, energetic, enthusiastic and knowledgeable basketball mind. He is the kind of person everybody in America should have on their staff. There’s no task beneath him and no task above him. He’s just a worker and he’s going to bring a lot to our staff. No matter what we ask him to do, he will be a valuable asset.” Paulson, 31, worked for Tinkle at Montana as an assistant coach in 2013-14 and as a graduate assistant coach in 2009-10 and 2010-11. He was the head coach at Bigfork High School from 2011-13 and an assistant coach at his alma mater, Carroll College, from 2007-09.
