Hoopsville: Division III Basketball's Talk Show

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

We are back to our normal Sunday and Thursday Hoopsville shows tonight! Now that we are getting back into our routine, we get back into the habit of featuring the East, Mid-Atlantic, Great Lakes, and West Regions on Thursday night shows (Northeast, Atlantic, Central, and South Regions on Sunday nights). Tonight, Dave McHugh talks with coaches who are succeeding so far this season thanks to a bit of a youth movement. How those squads are either exceeding early expectations or reloading pretty nicely. Dave also gets an assist from Pat Coleman to help cover the much anticipated men's basketball game between No. 1 Augustana at No. 5 Elmhurst which needed overtime to be decided. And Dave talks about the latest Hoopsville partner - the WBCA. With the WBCA coming onboard with the NABC there needed to be some branding changes. You will hear the change almost immediately.

Watch Hoopsville tonight at 7pm ET: www.d3hoops.com/hoopsville/archives/2015-16/jan7 - a show that had to be pre-recorded tonight due to other commitments.

Guests and/or topics include (in order):

It isn't easy to coach at any level. It is a joy to coach Division III says many a coach. Some enjoy it on their way up the ladder, others on their way closer to retirement, and others as their passion.

Tonight on Hoopsville we talk to many coaches in different aspects of their careers with varying teams who are succeeding on the court and off of it because of what coaching has taught them including facing the challenges no one should face especially off the court.

Hoopsville hits the air tonight at 7:00 pm ET with a jam packed show. Talking to programs who are leading their conferences or in the hunt facing the challenge that not everyone expect them to be competitive. We also talk to a few coaches who are taking care of more than Xs and Os. They are taking care of their team after a horrific circumstance of a player's murder or looking out of their own battling cancer.

Due to the fact the Blizzard that hit my region dumped three-feet of snow in our area... snow I have been shoveling in some capacity still today (cleared our deck - took two hours)... we are postponing the annual Hoopsville Marathon Show until NEXT week. It was originally scheduled to air this Thursday starting at 10am ET, but instead we will air a normal 7pm ET show this week and gear up for our Marathon show next week.

This will allow us more time to promote the show along with booking guests which had taken a major backseat to shoveling, caring for the house and family, and other items like rescheduled work due to the storm.

I hope you understand and I hope everyone will joins us for some, if not all, of the show next week.

Don't forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter (including #Hoopsville), and on our website for more information.

Thank you.

That works out well for me.  I'm pretty busy this Thursday, but far more open next week.

Dave,

Great show yesterday. I was off yesterday so I got to hear a lot of the show. The interview with Sydney Moss was great on the D3 experience and its difference to D1, the story of John Baron's family situation is just heart wrenching and the Happy hour was truly entertaining. Thanks again. 

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Thank you, mailsy... you certainly captured a few of the top moments from yesterday.

[pg04]

I didn't get to tune in much because my schedule is so out of whack but I thank you for your effort and dedication to D3hoops!
