Live from Haverford

Hello from the Main Line, where I'll be covering the Pan Am Games basketball trials for the next few days at Haverford College's Gooding Arena. It took me a while to get things set up, in part because of the somewhat tricky wireless internet connection and in part because of the enormous plume of smoke caused by a burning car that I had to drive through on Girard Avenue coming out here.

Nonetheless, everything's in place now, and over the next few days, I'll be bringing you video features on some of the participants out here. The roster is stacked with some of the best players in college basketball, and there are a lot of high-profile coaches in the house as well.

Check back later tonight for the first batch of videos.

(And in the meantime, check out the blog Haverford is running for the event, as well as CSTV's famed Hang Time blog, both of which are live from the site all weekend.

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.
