Time is running out on the regular season. In a matter days, only 128 teams will remain with a chance to earn two national titles. Who will punch their tickets themselves? Who will be offered theirs? Plus we celebrate a Hall of Fame possibility. On Thursday's Hoopsville, Dave McHugh talked to guests from around the country who are trying to earn their way into playing in March. One already has.

Just days before the start of the 2019-20 season, Glenn Robinson announced he was retiring from coaching. He was the first domino to fall. Since then, more than 4,000-wins have been taken out of the active record books thanks to the retirements of a number of the division and the sport's best coaches. In what is the first of a two-part May Podcast, Dave chat with some of those who announced their retirements since the season ended. What drove them to the decision to walk away? What will they remember about their careers (many at a single institution)? And will they still be part of the game? Guests include: - Dave Hixon, Amherst men's coach (42 seasons, 826 wins) - Ken DeWeese, Mary Hardin-Baylor men's coach (21 seasons, 400 wins) - Carol LaHaye, Randolph-Macon women's coach (38 season, 647 wins) - Grey Giovanine, Augustana men's coach (21 seasons, 433 wins) Dave also has a brief idea of what is being discussed when it comes to the coronavirus and the challenges institutions face both on campus and with athletics. Plus, the Hoopsville Notebook has updates on moving the three-point line, Regional Realignment/Expansion, and even the Wild Williams World of Sports. Hoopsville broadcasts from the WBCA/NABC Studio. All guests are featured on the BlueFrame Technology Hoopsville Hotline. The offseason plan is to do a podcast each month.

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 the action coming at the final fours. Which teams seemed ready to be playing one more weekend? Hoopsville is presented by D3hoops.com and airs from the WBCA/NABC Studio. Guests Schedule (order subject to change): - John Tauer, No. 13 St. Thomas men's coach - Dave Hixon, No. 7 Amherst men's coach - Nathan Dennison, VP for Sales, Memorial Coliseum (Fort Wayne, Ind.) - Mark Morefield, No. 12 UMHB women's coach - Carla Berube, No. 4 Tufts women's coach
How much does truth matter to you? In particular, how should we think about Christians who hold very different views on key subjects? For example, I’m a biblical unitarian, someone who believes that we should take Jesus literally when he called his Father “the only true God.” Of course I believe Jesus is God’s only Read more about Interview 40: How Much Does Truth Matter?

The season has started fast and for some teams they still haven't lost. Not unexpected for some, maybe completely unexpected for others. And there was a big battle between #1 and #2 in Division III men's basketball on tap! On Thursday's edition of Hoopsville, Dave was back in studio and talked to some of the teams who find themselves without a loss, but probably still with plenty of questions that remain unanswered. Many of the teams are nationally ranked, but one of the teams finds itself undefeated and receiving narry a point in any of the Division III polls. Also on Thursday's edition, Dave will talked LIVE with both Amherst and Babson head coaches after not only a rate No. 1 vs. No. 2 regular season battle, but another thrilling double-overtime game between the two. Both coaches took the time to chat after the game. Guests included (in order): - Bob Amsberry, No. 8 Wartburg women's coach - Amy Reed, Rochester Tech women's coach - Landry Kosmalski, No. 22 Swarthmore men's coach - Jon VanderWal, No. 3 Marietta men's coach - Dave Hixon, No. 1 Amherst - Stephen Brennan, No. 2 Babson men's coach This is most likley the last Thursday edition of Hoopsville before the holiday break (due to D3football.com coverage of Gagliardi Trophy and Stagg Bowl next week and proximity of Christmas the following week). The Thursday edition of the show will return January 5, 2017 - but stay tuned if we change our minds in two weeks.
Believe it not, the 2016-17 basketball season is just days away. But the season can't start without Hoopsville hitting the air! On Sunday's show, Dave talked to the two preseason numbers one teams, found out how the offseason went for the two defending national championships, and touched bases with the men's and women's basketball committee chairs. Guests included: - Kevin Vande Streek, men's basketball committee chair and head coach for Calvin - Bobbi Morgan, women's basketball committee chair and head coach for Haverford - John Tauer, head coach for No. 10 St. Thomas men - Dave Hixon, head coach for No. 1 Amherst men - Jeff Hans, head coach for No. 4 Thomas More women - Carla Berube, head coach for No. 1 Tufts women
Hoopsville returned to the air with the season's first Sunday edition. Dave McHugh looked back at the last couple of weeks including a thrilling D3hoops.com Classic.
