This special 100th episode highlights four years of Catching up with Longwood College and Longwood University student-athletes, coaches and administrators Lancers from the past.  Rich Posipanko, featured on the second podcast in May 2020, joins host Rohn Brown as they re-live favorite episodes and unearth new stories about Cal Luther, Jerome Kersey, and more.  Rohn pays tribute to his mentor and friend, former Longwood Sports Information Director, who passed away on September 26, 2024.        

If you did not follow Longwood men's tennis from 1981-1983 or hang out with members of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, you may not know Bryan Kersey.  But if you watched ACC basketball in the 90s and into the 2000s, chances are you saw him on the court – in black and white stripes.  After earning a reputation as one of the nation's best college basketball referees, Bryan is now the supervisor of officials for 11 conferences including the ACC, A-10, CAA and the Big South.    Growing up as the son of long time NBA official Jess Kersey, Bryan describes how he and his over 200 referees strive for perfection in a challenging and changing game. 

As a transfer from Frank Phillips JC, Dave Strothers made his two Longwood years count.  As a senior, he led the Lancers in scoring and rebounding and made 87% of his career free throws.  For the last 30 years, he applies the same demeanor as a school administrator.   Strothers is the principal of Mayfield Woods Middle School in Howard Co., Md.  Dave faced his biggest test in 2012 as he and his family escaped their burning house.  Dave commends his community for their generousity and former Longwood Head Coach Cal Luther.

Vigesimoséptimo programa dedicado a la temporada 1984-85 de la NBA en el que continuamos el repaso de la fase regular. Analizamos a los Portland Trail Blazers; tanto sus expectativas como el desarrollo del curso, los movimientos en la plantilla, su ataque y defensa, los jugadores, las estadísticas individuales y colectivas, y algunas curiosidades. Dos hechos marcaron la campaña del equipo, el primero fue el traspaso que permitió la llegada de Kiki Vandeweghe y la salida de Calvin Natt, Wayne Cooper y Fat Lever; el segundo, la elección en el draft de Sam Bowie (también la de Jerome Kersey, pero en ese momento no se espera casi nada de él). Jack Ramsay no supo hacer que el equipo mejorara a pesar de la explosión de juego de Clyde Drexler. Tanto Jim Paxson como Mychel Thomson rindieron por debajo de lo esperado. La dirección de Darnell Valentine no fue buena. Kenny Carr y Audie Norris sí aportaron. Hablamos sobre todo lo anterior y más. ------ Contacto y redes: - iVoox (Era baloncesto): https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-era-baloncesto_sq_f1687000_1.html - XLS con todos los audios: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k9YiJkMkIMwONwX1onZZTBHBffYVtnlgT2oBebypG0A - Twitter: @erabaloncesto - Blog: https://erabaloncesto.home.blog - erabaloncesto@gmail.com ------ Sintonía: - Cornflowers (Dee Yan-Key): freemusicarchive.org/music/Dee_Yan-Key/Vacation_Days/01-Dee_Yan-Key-Cornflowers ------ Creado y presentado por José Manuel Gómez y Manuel Álvarez López.
