I know bball season is over and I'm not sure if anyone will read this post, but maybe one of you guys will repond to my question.  It's already been established that Maritime has the weakest program in the conference.  Who is the next weakest program and why?

I am disgusted and apalled at the fact that the Mount St. Mary women haven't garnered enough, if any, respect from the voters at d3hoops.com.  They BEAT the #25 team in the country by a sizeable margin, and lost to the #2 team in the country by a mere 5 points - a game that easily could have gone either way.  It blows my mind that Union not only moved up in the rankings the past two weeks since their loss to MSM, BUT the Mount LOSES votes along the way???  How does anyone expect them to do well throughout the season when they aren't even recognized for their amazing efforts and in turn are virutally slapped in the face??

If they need recognition from a poll to motivate them then there's trouble.

You know as well as I do Pat that any type of 'praise' can boost a team's morale.  Consistently being 'shot down' by pollsters and other neigh-sayers who don't believe in a team can kill any confidence they may have had coming in to the season.  You know where I was going with the comment... no need for sarcasm on your end.

It is time to find out who is in... and who is out.
Whose bubble has been burst and who is wearing Cinderella's glass slippers.
It's Selection Sunday... and tonight there will be a special "Hoopsville" as the 2005 NCAA Men's and Women's Basketball Brackets are announced... LIVE on our air!
The Road to Salem and Virginia Beach officially starts tonight!


It plans to be a huge night... as 50 womens and 48 mens teams are officially invited to the dance and a chance at a national title.

Some teams already know they are going (thanks to winning their conferences) and some think they are going, but there are always surprises.

So tonight, we will break it all down. Starting at 8:30 PM EST, we will take a look at who is definitely in, who might make it, who will be disappointed, and what match-ups you might want to look forward to seeing later in the week.

Then at 10:00 PM EST... we will broadcast LIVE the Women's Selection Show so you can find out when we do... the 50 teams on the Road to Virginia Beach.

That will be followed by the Men's Selection Show at 10:30 PM EST - when 48 teams find out what their Road to Salem will be like.

After those selections... we will go over it with a fine-tooth comb and find out who we think are the surprises!

And throughout the show, we will hear from different regions with live reports and talk to coaches that have made surprising moves into the tournament.

Of course, you can listen in thank to Goucher College.
We suggest you try and use the low-bandwith signal which will require you to have Real Player and selection the 28K version of the show.
At the same time, you can listen to the Broadcastmonsters.com version, using Windows Media Player (go to the "Hoopsville" page for more information).

And you can share your opinions and questions with us, live on the air.
email - hoopsville@d3hoops.com  
AOL IM - Hoopsville2000

And for more information... check out the "Hoopsville" website (www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville)!

Again... it all starts tonight at 8:30 PM EST.

"Bard College freshman Blaire Moldenhauer was selected as the Skyline Conference Rookie of the Year in women�s basketball. Moldenhauer, who was selected Skyline Rookie of the Week four times in the final five weeks, was ranked fifth in the conference in scoring at 16.3 points per game. She was the only freshman ranked in the top 20 in scoring. Additionally, Moldenhauer ranked third in the conference in blocked shots (1.52/gm), fourth in rebounding (9.6/gm) and fifth in free throw percentage (.718)."

Hard to believe the conference's best player, improved as a sophomore, won't lead Bard to greener pastures than ninth. Looking forward to the season.

Times Herald-Record
February 26, 2009
NEWBURGH — When your basketball team has won 96.7 percent of its league contests all-time and has never lost a league playoff game, you have to find new ways to challenge your players.

Mount Saint Mary women's basketball coach Randy Ognibene believes he has found one.

The Blue Knights are the stingiest defensive team in the nation, and Ognibene has changed some of his own principles to keep it that way.

Mount Saint Mary is holding opponents to a paltry shooting percentage of .288, 22 points ahead of second-ranked Elms, and 56 points better than its nearest competitor in the Skyline Conference, Polytechnic. The Blue Knights are holding teams to 48.4 points per game, trailing only national leader Saint Elizabeth by fractions of a point, and 12 points better than Polytechnic. The NCAA rewards the top statistical teams in the nation with a plaque.

"This is by far our best defensive team ever,'' Ognibene said.

Ognibene said his team is not great offensively — the Blue Knights rank 80th out of 435 Division III teams at 69.8 points per game — so he has placed a higher emphasis on defense. The Mount has always played a pressure-defense game, but this season Ognibene has drastically altered his approach.

Mindful of a conversation he had with Marist coach Brian Giorgis, the Red Foxes and Blue Knights have both gotten away from jumping out into the passing lanes and denying passes, and are instead working to take away layups and contest more shots with the use of more "help" defenders.

The results started to kick in a month ago. Since then, the Mount has held eight opponents to fewer than 41 points, limiting Bard to 31 and 21 in two meetings, and Yeshiva to 28 and 27 in two games.

Those are two struggling programs, but the concept works against the top foes, too. Mount Saint Vincent and Farmingdale State are the second- and third-ranked offensive teams in the conference, and played a 102-98 game last week. But Mount held Farmingdale to 40 points and Mount Saint Vincent to 55. Mount Saint Mary held the Skyline's top offensive team, SUNY Old Westbury, to 62 points on Saturday, 17 points below its average.

"They started to take pride in not just beating teams but shutting teams down, going after the national field-goal percentage title,'' Ognibene said. "The kids are starting to enjoy that success.''

The Mount hosts Old Westbury in a Skyline tournament semifinal at 7 p.m. Thursday. With a victory, the Mount will host the Skyline final on Saturday. The Blue Knights have won every championship since the inception of the Skyline in 1999-00.

"These kids have changed me as a coach,'' said Ognibene, a veteran of 29 seasons. "They started to produce results. I started emphasizing defense even more. This group has embraced it more, and they have changed me as a coach, maybe permanently.''

Now 45 minutes a day are spent exclusively on defense, to emphasize three principles: push the play to the outside, contest all shots and box out and rebound.

"Going into the tournament right now, I feel confident and comfortable,'' Ognibene said. "We are trying to guard against overconfidence and approaching the game in any other way.''

Two former skyline members make conference finals! Manhattenville & Stevens both made their conference finals congrats to both. This should show that the top tier of the skyline is not as weak as many perceived it to be. Both of these teams although very good could not reach the skyline finals for at lease the last five years.
Title: Re: Skyline Conference
Post by: jumphigh on March 01, 2009, 12:25:07 PM
Stevens won the empire 8 finals. 

I think the skyline had the nations two leading scores in Farmingdale's Kimberly  Blakney at 23.3 ppg and Old Westbury's  Pamela Robinson at 22.3 ppg. The skyline also boasts the nations leading defense as highlighted in the above story.  Agreed the bottom half of the conference is weak, but i believe MSMC dominance  of the conference also adds to the notion that the whole league is weak.

is this the year to make some noise? First round game looks winnable. Second round would probably be against host Brandeis.

NEWBURGH — Meredith Paggi got swept up in the moment quite literally and had no choice but to enjoy the ride.

The rowdy student section at the Kaplan Center charged the basketball floor with the final buzzer on Saturday to celebrate Mount Saint Mary's 10th consecutive Skyline Conference championship, and three young men hoisted Paggi to their shoulders.

NEWBURGH, NY – With a decade of Skyline Conference dominance in the books, the Mount Saint Mary College women's basketball team has set their sights on an eleventh consecutive conference championship and their eleventh consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament. And in listening to head coach J. Randall Ognibene (Gasport, N.Y.), there's no talk of complacency around the Blue Knights.

"It's my job to convince the team that we start the season at 0-0", said Ognibene. "We don't get any credit this year for what we accomplished last season. We have to start from scratch."

The Blue Knights won't have to start from scratch with their lineup as they'll return three highly experienced seniors for the 2009-10 season. Seniors Shannon Sangster (Syracuse, N.Y.), Chrissy Zrowka (Brick, N.J.), and Catie Biordi (Beacon, N.Y.) will lead the Mount in their quest for title number eleven.

Sangster, a second team all-Skyline player and a third team all-Atlantic Region honoree, has matured into an excellent post player. Last year, she averaged 11.1 points and 8.1 rebounds while shooting nearly 50-percent from the floor. This year, with the continued development of her mid-range jumper and a commitment to defense and rebounding, Sangster can improve upon those numbers.

Zrowka, who flourished with the move to point guard last season, ranked 12th nationally in assists per game at 5.8 per contest. She also came into her own as a scorer, adding on 8.6 points per game to her gaudy assist totals. A strong, physical player, Zrowka sees the floor incredibly well and will be counted on for a big chunk of minutes in 2009-10.

Biordi, the team leader in three-pointers last season, is an excellent shooter. She averaged 7.4 points a year ago and was second on the team in assists behind Zrowka. An incredibly hard worker at both ends of the floor, Biordi will need to continue her level of effort for the Blue Knights to be successful.

A fourth senior, Jess Tice (Altamont, N.Y.), will jump into the starting lineup in 2009-10. An athletic, inside-outside player, Tice presents matchup problems for her opponents because of her height. She's also an excellent defensive player and is often called upon to defend the opposing team's best player. Tice set a new school record for blocked shots last season with 54 in 29 games.

For some additional scoring punch, the Blue Knights will look to sophomore Amanda Horvers (Kingston, N.Y.). A pure shooter with excellent range, Horvers understands the game well and can also run the point for the Mount.

Mount Saint Mary is deep at the guard position and will use a number of players in the rotation. Sophomore Sarah Joseph (East Hampton, Conn.) and freshman Charneice McCullough (Wyandanch, N.Y.) are excellent ball handlers who can contribute right away. Sophomore Natalie Garbie (Bayville, N.J.), who has battled back from injury, is one of the better shooters on the team. Freshman Becky Metzger (Point Pleasant, N.J.) is a solid fundamental player and an excellent defender.

First off the bench as a forward will be sophomore Rachel Russo (Trumbull, Conn.). Russo saw time in all 29 games last season and can provide a nice scoring punch off the bench. More of a finesse post player, the sophomore possesses a nice mid-range jumper. Freshman Kate Hartnett (Floral Park, N.Y.) has been a nice surprise to the coaching staff in the preseason. Hartnett is a tough, determined rebounder and also has a nice touch around the hoop.

With a win in the first round of the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons, the next step for the Blue Knights is their first-ever trip to the Sweet Sixteen.

"Sure, we're looking at the Sweet Sixteen, and maybe more if things break right," said Ognibene. "First things first though - we need to take of the Skyline Conference."

The Blue Knights will face a tough non-conference schedule before heading into Skyline Conference play. They open up against a perennial national contender in NYU and they'll also take on New Paltz, Baruch, William Paterson, and Lehman. A trip to the Emmanuel College Invitational looms on the first weekend of the season. Mount Saint Mary kicks off the Skyline schedule on December 1 as they host Purchase College.

MSMC Lady Knights aren't ready to give up their conference dominance just yet,
beating the previously undefeated Farmingdale club 68-43. MSMC handled farmingdale's trapping defense much better this time. Then put their defense to work and shut down rams.

It appears the Athletic Directors Executive Committee awarded Farmingdale the number one seed :'( even though the dominate team in the league was Mount St Mary. their closest game  being a 18 point win except for the mid season loss to Farmingdale. That loss was advenged again with a dominate 25 point win last saturday. Farmingdale had a handfull of games they could have loss, down by 25 to Mt St. Vincent? It doesnt matter The better team won last Saturday and the better TEAM will win this Saturday. sorry little bit of a vent!

skyline playoffs delayed again! semis hopefully Saturday at 1 and finals hopefully Sunday

Hope they get these games in. If not, would be a shame MSMC ladies wouldn't have a chance to defend their title. I guess Farmingdale would get AQ?

I would hope MSMC did enough to get a pool C bid, but I would rather see them play for it.

1. SOS  No.  54 Mount St. Mary  20-4  .833  .563  .499  .542 
2. Close game with No 8 WPU 49-43

The perfect storm has left Newburgh with over 2 feet of snow and without power for the last 24 hours, no news on when to exspect it back on. So now both semi-final  games will be played tomorrow at Farmingdale. The final will be played at 11 am on Sunday in Farmingdale.

Title: Williams - MSMC
Post by: jumphigh on March 08, 2010, 07:20:34 AM
Williams proved to be the best team in the Ithaca pod. I know everyone has said they were the fifth team in from the NESCAC, but they were tied for second place in the regular season.
MSMC had a slow start down 12 at the half and as much as 14 early in the second, until they started to play their game. And at the 4 min mark made it all the way back to 50-49, a foul shot could have tie it but was missed. I think at that point it may have been a coaching error that cost the game. With 2 mins left the coach took out  Tice and Zrowka, two of the leading scores for the day. I guess to get them a quick rest, maybe in hind sight a timeout could have worked better. But the girls should be proud they played hard and made Williams know they were in a game
Title: Re: Skyline Conference
Post by: jumphigh on November 08, 2010, 09:16:19 PM
A new season approaches, will MSMC women take back control of the Skyline Conference or can Farmingdale continue their run. maybe a newcomer can make some noise, i guess it will take the season to find out
Title: 2010-2011 Preseason Poll
Post by: ichouse on November 15, 2010, 09:14:49 AM
CLIFTON PARK, N.Y. - Last season was the first in Skyline Conference history that  Mount Saint Mary did not win a Skyline Conference women's basketball title.  After winning 10 consecutive championships, the Knights were upended by Farmingdale State last season.  Mount Saint Mary, which still earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament, was picked first in the Skyline preseason coaches' poll.

The Knights received eight first-place votes and 80 points.  Farmingdale State was picked second with two first-place votes and 73 points.  NYU-Poly (58) was picked third and Old Westbury (54) was selected fourth.

Mount Saint Mary had just one player average in double figures last season, but went 22-6 overall and 17-1 in Skyline Conference play.  The Knights' leading scorer last season, senior forward Shannon Sangster (12.2 points, 6.5 rebounds) has graduated, but Mount Saint Mary returns is next three scorers in Amanda Horvers, Natalie Garbie and Jess Tice.  Tice was an All-Skyline second-team selection.

Farmingdale State captured the Skyline Conference title last season and went 27-2 overall.  The Rams face the tall order of replacing Skyline Player of the Year and all-time leading scorer Kimberly Blakney.  Blakney averaged a conference-leading 25.6 points, 11.7 rebounds and 6.1 steals, ranking among the national leaders in both points and steals.  Farmingdale State expects to rely on a more balanced offensive attack this season.  Senior guard Juanita Chappel (7.2 points) is the Rams' top returning scorer.

NYU-Poly finished sixth in the conference last year, earning its first-ever Skyline tournament berth.  The Fighting Blue Jays return two of last season's top five scorers in Kristin Leitheuser and Margaux Pickell.  Pickell, who also averaged 10.7 rebounds, was an All-Skyline second-team selection.

Old Westbury was picked fourth after going 12-13 overall and 7-11 in Skyline play.

Looks like Mt St Mary defense is what makes this team Go.

In their 9 wins they have held opponents  to an average of 36 points a game, including holding #24 William Patterson to 44.

In their 2 losses they have surrendered 70 points a game. Did those two teams figure out the puzzle or did the defense have off nights ???

congrats on a big win 63-60!  Western Connecticut was the best team Mt.St.Mary played this year so far. MSMC went toe to toe with WestConn and although a tight game throughout, controlled the pace and the lead most of the game.

and then followed up with the saturday game:

The Knights shot the ball extremely well, finishing at 65.2-percent from the field and 57.1-percent from three. The hot shooting resulted in a season-best 32 assists. On top of Mocanu's nine dimes, sophomore Charneice McCullough (Wyandanch, N.Y.) and freshman Fallon Witte (Loudonville, N.Y.) each added seven assists.

This team is a very unselfish group and plays tough defense, it may be the best team they have ever had. Maybe not with pure talent but how they play as one unit.

with Bard and Yeshiva leaving the Skyline Conference next year it gives MSMC a chance to further strengthen  their out of league schedule. This years out of league games included:

Montclair State University 10-9
Ithaca College 14-5 (NCAA last year)
Baruch 17-4,( NCAA last year)
William Paterson University 17-3 #21 (NCAA last year)
Western Connecticut State 16-3 # 19 at time of game (NCAA last year)
Lehman College 12-8

If they could add a NYU, Scranton, or Kean just to mention a few possibilities, they would have a very respectable out of league schedule.

That was pointed out to us and we told Old Westbury how to log in and fix it. I guess it's not a priority for them to participate in D3hoops.com in the regular season, so I wonder how big a priority it will be when it comes to postseason awards and other things.

MSMC women have two tests games coming up today 1/29/11 at Old Westbury 12 - 3 (8 - 2) then next Saturday 2/5/11 at Farmingdale 11-5(8-2)

second test passed

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – To complete a sweep of the defending Skyline Conference champions, the Mount Saint Mary College women's basketball team defeated Farmingdale State College, 49-45, on Saturday afternoon. The Knights improved to 18-2 overall and to 14-0 inside the Skyline Conference, while the Rams fell to 14-6 overall (10-3 Skyline).

After trailing for the opening thirty minutes, Farmingdale took their first lead of the game as junior Kayla Koch (Kings Park, N.Y.) knocked down back-to-back jumpers to give the Rams a 35-34 advantage with 9:41 remaining in the contest.

Senior Jess Tice (Altamont, N.Y.) responded with a pair of free throws at the 8:41 mark and following a stop at the other end, Tice extended the Mount possession with an offensive rebound. The senior then found junior Amanda Horvers (Kingston, N.Y.) for a three-pointer that extended the lead for the Knights to 39-35.

Later, Farmingdale sophomore Jeanette Zubizarreta (Bay Shore, N.Y.) drained a three-pointer at the 4:04 mark to cut the deficit to 44-41. A scoring drought of two and a half minutes ensued, but as the clock ticked under 90 seconds, it was Mount sophomore Charneice McCullough (Wyandanch, N.Y.) who broke through with a layup, staking the Knights to a five-point lead (46-41) with 1:25 to go. The Rams would not threaten down the stretch, and Mount Saint Mary held on for a 49-45 win.

Despite shooting just 4-of-17 from the field, senior Tice led the Mount with 13 points. The senior also added 14 rebounds, six blocks, and three assists. In addition to her key late-game layup, McCullough connected three times from three and joined Tice at a team-high 13 points. Sophomore Kate Hartnett (Floral Park, N.Y.) tallied six points and 11 rebounds.

MSMC and Farmingdale look like they will get the first round byes.
Old Westbury and Poly look like  locks to make it.
Then the group of 4 fighting for the last two places, Mt. St. Vincent looks like a long shot but they have the easiest schedule of the group.

I would love to have Mount St. Mary in the LEC.  Give them a better conference to prepare themselves for the NCAA (they could probably beat at least half of the Syline teams playing their bench) plus West Conn could actually get a decent road trip to a conference team.

Sounds good how do we make it happen! At least if they make it an annual non-conference game. They had a great battle earlier this year, in a game that could have gone either way. Tice and Teal had a nice individual battle to, Teal couldnt stop Tice driving in the first half and Tice couldnt stop Teal in the post in the second half with each finishing with 19 points.

Sounds good, but would be nice to have each other as conference opponents so we could get a rematch at Feldman arena.  How about a rematch in the NCAA tournament??  Next year our team will be pretty bad as we lose Spera, Lee & Teel to graduation our 3 money players, so the Knights shouldn't have much trouble if they play next year in Danbury.

Can't see them losing to Farmingdale again this year.  Jess Tice should have a nice day in the paint against an undersized Rams team.  At their regular season game a few weeks ago at Purchase I think 4/5 of the Rams starting 5 was 5'7 or shorter.  Knights should control the boards and get a bevy of second chance points.  I like them to win by 15 or so.

Can only think that MSMC officials did not want to be considered to host the first and second rounds. Both Kean (No.1 in region)and William Paterson (No.3 in region) are hosting, while MSMC (No. 2 in region) will travel 350 miles.  And many parents live 100-150 miles south of MSMC making it a very difficult trip for them.

Knights Place Three on Skyline First Team

NEWBURGH, N.Y. – Senior Jess Tice (Altamont, N.Y.), junior Amanda Horvers (Kingston, N.Y.), and junior Jen Mocanu (Belford, N.J.) were all named to the Skyline Conference women's basketball first team with the announcement of the year-end awards on Wednesday.

Tice, the lone senior on this year's squad, averaged 11.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. She led the team in blocks per game (2.3) and became the all-time career leader for blocks at the Mount. Tice also led the Knights in steals at 2.0 per game.

Horvers took a different route to her first team all-conference selection, doing most of her damage by way of the three-pointer. The junior hit 67 threes to lead the team and connected at a rate of 35.3-percent. Horvers finished the season at 12.8 points per game and rounds out her stat line with 3.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.6 steals.

Mocanu, named the Skyline Tournament's most valuable player after scoring 31 points in the championship game, was the team's leading scorer at 13.6 points per contest. Mocanu shot nearly 45-percent from the field, while dishing out a team-best 68 assists. The junior also contributed 3.6 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game.

The Knights will compete later this week in their 12th consecutive NCAA Tournament. They'll travel to Bowdoin College in Maine for a first round game with Emmanuel College on Friday, March 4. The tip is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. and the game can be followed via webcast.
Title: Re: Skyline Conference

MSMC Women came out with great defense against Emmanuel last night. They held the saints to nineteen first half points on 9 of 32 attempts and held a 48-27 rebound edge for the game. Going into the game Emmanuel led the country in assists per game, but MSMC held the edge there to at 19-15.

Big test tonight, I think Bowdoin comes into tonight's game with a 14-1 home court record in the NCAA's

You are correct-- only Bowdoin home loss in the NCAA DIII tournament was a 1 point loss to Muhlenberg in the second round March, 2009--- Coach Adrienne Shibles had already taken the helm at Bowdoin.

Bowdoin was undefeated at home in NCAA tournament play under Stefanie Pemper, who now is the head coach of DI Navy.

Post by: 7express on December 15, 2011, 03:00:19 PM
Big game tomorrow night @ the Kaplan center between William Paterson & Mount St. Mary.  It was close last year (IIRC tied at halftime), but the MSM defense really clamped down in the second half.  Jess Tice was a big part of last year's win with 12 points 7 boards and 3 blocks.  Will be interesting to see the Knight's trademark defense against the Pioneers 2 all-americans in BriAnna Lucas and April Smith.  Last year Lucas had a game high 17 points, but they held Smith to 1 point on 0-13 shooting.    The last time I saw the Knight's they held a Western Connecticut team that had been averaging over 70 points a game to a season slow 58.  The Pioneers are averaging 82.6 ppg this year, havn't been held below 71 and have cracked 90+ in 4 of their 9 games this year.  If the Knights can hold them below 55 they win, otherwise WPU more than likely wins.  Looking forward to this game though, 2 contrasting styles.
Title: Re: Skyline Conference
Post by: jumphigh on December 16, 2011, 04:26:07 PM
Yes, Smith was held to one point last year with Tice guarding her. Not sure MSMC has a player this year that can hold her to a point tonight.
MSMC has played more zone defense than in the past. But this game is a big measuring stick for both teams as last year MSMC won 60-44

Is there any word why Ognibene resigned??  I saw them in the opener vs. Hartwick, and granted Hartwick is receiving votes in the top 25 this year, but have to think with Ognibene they don't lose by 45 or whatever that final margin was.  I don't think they've done much better since that opener.  The next day they gave up 60 to a J&W team who has trouble breaking 40 most games.

On almost any night you can expect there is something to talk about in Division III basketball. From upsets to dominating results, when thousands of games are being played there never is a moment that goes by that shouldn't be discussed.

That's what we hope to do on Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) every show.

Sunday night is no different. There are plenty of upsets to discuss along with figuring out just exactly who are the best teams in the country. Sometimes that discussion means talking to those who won, those who lost, and those who are helping determine conference races.

On Sunday's show, Dave talks to several teams who are in the conversation around the country. From a men's team who ended a 72-game conference winnings streak to another men's squad whose undefeated conference run ended. Also, a women's squad who is already having the best season in four years and another being led by a man who has overcome more than most do and trying to lead by examble by staying focused despite his battled with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Dave will also update a few items voted on this week at the NCAA Convention that will affect basketball starting next season.

You can watch Hoopsville live or watch it on Facebook Live (simulcast):  http://www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2016-17/jan22. If you missed the show live, you can watch the video On Demand in the same manner or listen to or download the podcast (available when the show concludes).

Don't forget to contribute to the new "Hoopsville Mailbag" segment. Email questions you may have to hoopsville@d3hoops.com. Dave will answer them on air tonight or on a future show.

Guests scheduled to appear (in order of appearance):
- Michael Coppolino, Mount St. Mary women's head coach
- Paul Culpo, Castleton men's coach
- Derek James, MacMurray women's coach - WBCA Center Court
- Ryan Kane, Ripon men's coach
- Tom Palombo, Guilford men's coach

What I'm reading is she's the AD & women's b-ball coach.
She's got a nice record in conference & seems to be doing a good job.
Therefore, something really bad had to hit the fan & I hope this school has all the necessary proof they'll need as they just probably ended the coaching/administrative careers of these two & it wouldn't surprise me if this ends up in court.

Good for them if they've got the proof of something that's very wrong & they acted quickly.
On the other hand...just hope it wasn't a knee jerk reaction based on innuendo.

Intrigue...DIII style.

From what we are hearing off the record... there was some stuff happening behind the scenes that appears to have lead the president to fire them. The men's volleyball coach was also fired, but for a different reason/case.

That said, from what I have learned the president does do knee jerk things... I can't say if this was or not. I can understand the decision, but I don't truly know anything since no one will go on the record as of yet.

The holidays brought us many presents in Division III basketball. From upsets to impressive performances, many teams made an impression. As a result, there is plenty to recap as Hoopsville (http://www.d3hoopsville.com) returns to the air after the holiday break.

Join Dave as he talks to guests around the country and recaps an incredible few weeks - or tries to recap. From an assistant coach who made a life saving decision, a women's coach who has been fighting cancer without missing time with his team, to coaches around the country who have teams that have many wondering ... just how good are they?

With the midseason return of Hoopsville comes with it some of the more structured aspects of the show. For starters, Thursday nights are dedicated primarily to the East, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, and West Regions for guests. Tonight also sees the season debut of the "WBCA Center Court" which is a segment that allows viewers to learn more about coaches and what they are involved in outside of basketball.

Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. You can watch the show LIVE starting at 7pm ET right here: http://bit.ly/2CoVJhv.

You can also send your questions to the show and have them featured on the Hoopsville Mailbag segment. Email them to hoopsville@d3hoops.com.

Guests include (in order of appearance):
- Justin Smith, Dubuque women's assistant coach
- Brian Newhall, Occidental men's coach
- Guy Rancourt, No. 6 Lycoming men's coach
- Matt Dempsey, Merchant Marine women's coach (WBCA Center Court)
- Jeff Hans, No. 8 Thomas More women's coach
