This week's College HoopsCast (Soft Pretzel Logic)

This week's College HoopsCast

This week's episode of the show is now ready for your listening pleasure.

It's a preview of the Final Four, with a look at all the chalk and all the big money teams that have made it to Atlanta. We break down the matchups and Mike gives his picks. Then we take up the John Thompson III-Fran Dunphy discussion that's been going on the blog.

It's also the last show of the season with Mike. I'll probably do one for the women's final four with Mel Greenberg on Wednesday and that will be it.

To all of you out there who've been listening, my sincere thanks. Mike and I really do care that people are downloading the show.

Coaching vacancies

Stan Heath shown the door by Frank Broyles. Arkansas is really not a factor these days.
Who are you hearing as the candidates?
Thats 2 SEC jobs open -- AR and KY

Still have 2 Big 10(11) openings as well
Michigan and Iowa

And 2 in the Ivy. Harvard and Princeton. I know that gets some play around here

Any buzz on any of these?

Its been quiet on this front, and all we know is that Calipari signed a nice extension at Memphis State.

And Little Ricky is content at Louisville. He must like the Big East road trips to NYC, DC, and Chicago a little more than trips to Starkville, Oxford, and other outposts in SEC-land.

Only real news I see is that Ritchie Mckay (ex New Mex) landed at Liberty. He must be liked by Falwell

Jonathan Tannenwald is a producer with Philly.com.

I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

In addition to the blog, I host and produce the Inquirer's College HoopsCast. It's a weekly podcast that features all the latest news and analysis from around local and national college basketball. Regular guests include Inquirer writers Mike Jensen, Joe Juliano and Mel Greenberg.

I also occasionally contribute to the Inquirer's women's basketball weblog, Women's Hoops Guru. If you've come here from there, this blog deals mostly with the men's side of things, though I do write about women's basketball and other sports when they fit in.

When not focusing on college hoops, I host and produce the Inquirer's PhilliesCast with Phillies beat writer Todd Zolecki, and can occasionally be found behind the camera shooting videos of the Eagles, other professional sports teams and the tiger cubs at the zoo.

One of the great things about City Series basketball, and college basketball as a whole, is its sense of community. So I want to hear from you. Post a comment or send me an email by clicking on my name above. But don't be profane, and don't post hate speech. I'm sure you'd like to take a shot at that commenter on the opposite side of a rivalry from you, or say something nasty about a team you don't like. But this blog isn't the place for it. Thanks.
