With the New Year comes not only a change to #Hoopsville, but increased concern about #COVID.
Tonight, Hoopsville returns from the holiday break with a move to Monday evenings (from the previous Sunday night position). With the return also comes the return to plenty of cancelations and postponements due to COVID. We chat with Jason Fein, Athletics Director at Bates College Athletics and member of the NCAA Division III Championships Committee and Management Council, about the challenges the Omicron variant is now throwing at college and athletics administrations. What may change in the coming weeks and what we may be talking about still when selections and brackets are released at the end of the season.
Plus, there are plenty of cancelations and postponements to try and weed through.
We also talk to two teams making headlines around #d3hoops. They include Drew Rangers women's basketball who are off to a program best 10-0 start. We chat with th Rangers head coach John Olenowski.
Plus, UW-Platteville Athletics men's basketball is undefeated and getting first place votes in the Top 25. Coach Jeff Gard joins us to talk about his Pioneers.
All that and we breakdown the new Top 25 polls! Ryan Scott and Bob Quillman join Dave to react to the men's poll and to give their Dubious, Deep Dive, and Debatable teams.
Guests include:
- Jason Fein, Bates Athletics Director and Chair, DIII Management Council
- John Olenowski, Drew women's coach
- Jeff Gard, No. 2 UW-Platteville men's coach
- Top 25 Double-Take with Ryan Scott and Bob Quillman
