It is with great sadness that we've learned that legendary Salisbury boys basketball coach Bill Paulik died on Friday night.
He was 83.
Paulik was the first coach in school history and he coached for 30 years, from 1963-1993.
In fact, his first game and the first game for the Falcons was postponed by the Kennedy Assassination in November of 1963.
Paulik would go on to post a record of 539-241. He won four District 11 titles and nine league championships. At the time of his retirement, he was second on the area's all-time win list behind only former South Whitehall/Parkland coach Bob Wilson.
He coached numerous 1,000-point scorers. Perhaps his most famous product was Antoine Hubbard, who tallied 2,077 points and was named first-team all-state in 1992 and 1993.
In my story on his retirement, Paulik said: "People talk about 500 wins as being unbelievable, but to me, the unbelievable thing is that I lasted 30 years. That's a long time. That's a lot of bus rides to a lot of places on cold winter nights. These days, you don't have many people willing to spend that much time in one place.
