Well, the 2007-2008 season has officially come to an end and we tried to wrap it up with a little bit of a bow on top!

Meia Daniels (Howard Payne)
Troy Ruths (Wash U.)
Steve Bankson (Baldwin-Wallace)
Tim Wise (Millsaps)
Brett Adams (Villa Julie & CBI)

Reporters:
Matt Florjancic (Great Lakes)
Gordon Mann (Atlantic/East)
Bob Quillman (Midwest/West)
Mark Simon (Northeast)
Pat Coleman (South & Everything else!)

Finally, I want to thank everyone who has made this season such a memorable and record breaking one! It starts with Pat Coleman who was more than willing to help me out as a wall to bounce ideas off of and one who would give me suggestions (and questions to ask) when necessary and needed).

My thanks also include everyone who participated as Regional Reporters this season: Bob Quillman, Gordon Mann, Mark Simon, Pat Cummings, Matt Florjancic, Marcus Fitzsimmons, and Jared Rosenbaum. These gentlemen sacrificed a lot every week to get use in-depth reports from their regions and inform the listeners about items we all might not have been aware of. I appreciate their hard work! It has made a big difference on the show.

Also thanks to those at the NABC who have helped out for years, especially this season with the growth of Hoopsville. Coaches Page Moir, Charlie Brock, Pat Cunningham, Mark McGrath, and Brett Adams have all helped out whether it be finding guests, giving us story ideas, or helping promote the show to their counter-parts. They have always been good friends of the show and this year that was more obvious than any other!

Thanks also to my producer Chris Taugher who worked hard to book guests nearly every week and also answered the phones and kept the show running while I tried to host. My fiance, Anne, also had moments where she answered the phones for me and has supported me in so many fabulous ways. I couldn’t do it without her tremendous support.

And then there are the guests. This season marked a milestone with the amount of guests we had on the show. We talked to some familiar coaches while also hearing from new coaches. We also chatted with some fabulous players who have proven once again that sometimes the best part of covering Division III sports is the fact that the athletes truly are students first, and the students on the show proved it!

Enjoy the season finale – including a look back at the NCAA Men’s Tournament – and we will look forward to hearing from you next season!
