Hoopsville

The 2019-20 season may end up seeing a lot of Division III coaches hit significant milestones throughout. On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave chats with three coaches who have already won milestone games this season. Whether it's 500 or 600, the milestone is a sign of a coach who not only has been coaching a long time, but also successful at coaching. That is certainly the case for the three coaches on S...

The basketball season now finds itself square in the middle of not only the holidays, but also finals. Teams are taking breaks to focus on academics and either not playing until the new year or finding openings to fit in games here and there. And while the tempo of games subsides a bit, there is still plenty of news swirling around Division III. Tune in as Dave and guests tackle all of the news th...

The 2019-20 season started a month ago. Already there has been plenty to talk about with still three months of regular season basketball to be played. And just as things got rolling on the court, now is also a time when we see things slow down for finals and the holiday break. On Monday's special edition of Hoopsville, Dave chats with a few teams who are off to pretty good starts in the opening mo...

Every off-season has it's headlines and surprising news. This past off-season seemed to have a few extra more surprising results. While we are nearly a month into the new season, decisions in the off-season are continuing to make waves throughout Division III. On Sunday's Hoopsville, Dave chats with a couple of coaches whose programs are dealing with some of the decisions made. Scranton women's ba...

Each season there are a few teams that get out to starts that makes everyone turn their heads. There are always a few "wait, what?!" "They beat who?!" And even a, "are they seriously (say record)?!" Yes, they are. And thus we should talk to them. On Sunday's Hoopsville, hear from a few coaches who have their teams out to blazing starts. UW-Platteville women are undefeated with wins over No. 18 Chi...

It might be early in the 2019-20 season, but there are already big games being played, surprising results, and teams off to tremendous starts. It isn't even Thanksgiving ... yet. We start prepping for the big day of Turkey by stuffing ourselves full of DIII basketball topics on Thursday's show. We talk retirement and coaching changes (since we didn't really talk about that Sunday), plus several te...

The season is underway, so it is about time we get Hoopsville on the air. Most Division III basketball teams have finally tipped up their first games. That means there is plenty to talk about on Hoopsville! Sunday, Dave debuts the show for its 17th season live in studio - with plenty of changes in the offseason. We chat about the changes not only in studio, but around the game. Plus, we talk to th...

Usually we try and relax in the offseason. We have always had ideas of doing an off-season podcast, but we usually end up being distracted by other things. This off-season we decided to go for it. We did get some "down time" in between the end of the season through the end of May, but we are ready to get back into chatting about DIII - basketball especially. And there is plenty to talk about start...

The 2018-19 season has come to a close ... well it did ten days ago. We finally got our Hoopsville Season Finale produced (sorry about the delay). Congratulations to the UW-Oshkosh men's and Thomas More women's basketball teams on their DIII National Championships. For the Titans, it is the first in program history and the fourth program (and 13th time) for the WIAC. For the Saints, it is their se...

The final fours are set! Eight of the best men's and women's teams remain to battle it out for two national titles. On the women's side, many of those expected to make it to Salem. On the men's side, none of the top four powers will be in Fort Wayne. Sunday on Hoopsville, Dave takes a look at both a record breaking performance on the men's side and chats with the four teams dancing on the women's...

The second weekend of the DIII Men's and Women's Championship Tournaments is set to start. Can the upset minded teams continue to prevail? Can the "favorites" maintain their poise? What home team will enjoy their own cooking? And who will still be playing in Fort Wayne and Salem? On Thursday's show, Dave is joined by a number of guests to get a look not only at the action ahead this weekend, but t...

We are down to 32. A great weekend of basketball has cut the NCAA tournament teams in half. There were some surprises, surprising outcomes, and fun environments around DIII. Even the end of the title defense of Nebraska Wesleyan. On Sunday's Hoopsville, we try and recap it all while also hearing from several of the coaches who found themselves in the thick of it. Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops...

The selections have been made and the brackets are out. Now we know who will battle for a national title, but who might pull it off? And how about the reactions of many to those selections.

There are just days left in the regular season and conference tournaments are in full throat. And those vying to get into the NCAA Tournament are already sitting on the proverbial "bubble." There are two ways to keep dancing in March, either win the conference automatic qualifier (i.e. tournament in most cases) or hope one's resume is good enough to be selected. However, with upsets in conference...

The 2018-19 season has entered it's final weeks. For some teams, their final games are this week. For others, they are fighting to hopefully still be playing next week and maybe beyond. While others hope their season stretches into March, as long as they take care of business this week and next. The season can really all boil down to a couple of games. While November is just as important, February...

Athletics Director Brad Duckworth will join us for an excl...

What a weekend! It was one of those sets of days we have seen often in Division III where at every turn there was something to watch, a result to ponder, and upset to breakdown. The hardwoods across the country had games worth watching all with just three weeks left in the regular season. It started with Dave and Pat's trip to Holland, Michigan to witness the 200th meeting of Calvin and Hope. The...

Hoopsville was live with a special one-hour pregame show ahead of The Rivalry. Hope and Calvin men's basketball has been playing against each other since 1920.
