It doesn't matter what night you tune in to Division III basketball, something will surprise you. There are teams leading conferences that weren't expected to be in the conversation, there are programs who continue their record-setting starts to the season, and others who seem to be defying expectations - well, at least those outside of the locker room.
On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave chats with a few coaches who have programs currently excelling - even if they have hit some bumps in the road recently. One has his program off to the best start in a storied program's history, another is leading a conference that has it's traditional leaders off the pace a bit, a third who was never thought would be on top, and a fourth looking to try and change national minds.
This week's WBCA Center Court guest is Stephanie Stevens of Gallaudet University, the national deaf and hard of hearing University, in our nation's capital. She will discuss what it is like to coach using a different language along with her involvement in the WBCA's Diversity and Inclusion committee. Stevens was a recent honoree of the WBCA Thirty Under 30.
