I'm asking that no more posts be made in regards to the DePauw game and the fans.  I sent the following letter to President Bottoms and Coach Huffman and Roz Fornari.  I mean ever word in it and don't feel they should be receiving the emails.  Let's show the class Hope fans should have and move on. 

President Bottoms, Coach Huffman, and Roz Fornari:
It has come to my attention that DePauw University, President Bottoms, Coach Kris Huffman, and Roz Fornari (NCAA site administrator) have come under great scrutiny for the Hope vs DePauw game. I would like to address this from my viewpoint. I have great respect for DePauw University. Kris Huffman is one of the finest people I have had the pleasure to meet in my 10 years as head basketball coach. She exemplifies EVERYTHING that is right about Division 3 athletics. She is a great role model and great ambassador of the game. She is an amazing coach who turns out great teams every year. Kris Huffman is also flat out classy in victory or defeat. I'd love for my daughters who are 4 and 6 to play for a person like Kris Huffman.
Roz Fornari was the NCAA rep and site administrator for the game in Greencastle. I am fortunate to serve on a national committee for the NCAA with her. I have the highest respect for her as a person, coach, and leader. Roz was also our site administrator at Capital University for the first two rounds and our liason at the Final Four. She did a fantastic job at all sites. We were treated with great respect and everything was well organized. She went above and beyond the call in her organization and representation of the NCAA.
The language used by the students was unfortunate, but not a reflection on Kris Huffman or Roz Fornari. They both did their jobs and did them very well.
Sometimes when students get in a group it empowers them. They do things they normally wouldn't do. Using the "F" word is an unfortunate thing that a number of students chose to do. I don't feel it should reflect negatively on Coach Huffman or Roz Fornari. I wish fans understood that college athletics needs MORE people like Kris Huffman and Roz Fornari. They are two of the very best.

Sincerely,


Brian Morehouse
Hope College Women's Basketball Coach
