If you've ever wondered how we've been able to attend #delhs basketball media days in recent years, Brad always extended an invitation. A class man and a great journalist. We'll miss him greatly!

And true to that comparison, plenty of glitches in the system, which will only make it worse.

As I've often said, trying to control where kids play sports is a pointless endeavor when other places will provide a platform for them. It happens and we'd be foolish to think it doesn't happen here. One reason why has yet to be explored fully. - Chris #delhs

Can confirm. We were there last night as well, waited forever and there was zero communication.

More than 16 hours after @DSUHornets 41-34 opening football win vs. @StonyBrookFB concluded, still no postgame stats & live stats still say it’s 2nd quarter. Inexcusable for Division I school, as was nobody showing up for postgame presser before media gave up after 90 minutes

This punishment feels like a warning shot to any school who feels they'll be overwhelmed in other sports. Not really a fan of it over here, either.
