PHILADELPHIA _ The Guru's good friend Temple coach Dawn Staley once expressed concern about the sport she loved transitioning into more of a business.
This is an alert that the experimental move to this site which will enable advertising sales does not mean the Guru, in turn, is becoming more commercialized.
It does mean, however, that we can make better use of technological initiatives and you might even get to see the Guru decked out and in action, along with other aspects of the forthcoming induction events in Knoxville, almost as soon as they happen.
At least, team member Jonathan is trying to convince me as much and, thus, as one who has embraced enhancements over the years, I'm always in favor of prudent experimentation.
For example, let's see if I mention the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame, I've provided the appropriate link.
And speaking of Hall of Famers, here's two of them taken by a Rutgers student, aka Kate, a year ago at the Women's Final Four in Boston that we're using as a test to see if we can imbed the photo.
And here edited into this copy two days later is a picture of the photographer, herself, along with two hall of famers, also taken in Boston to see if we figured out if a photo program on our laptop is good enough to help the cause over the next week.
So now that I've created a test implimentation, we'll see how everything looks and proceed from there.
We just previewed and it worked so Acacia and Erin will be able to jump start the multi-media phase of coverage when we arrive on Wednesday before Jonathan joins us on Thursday afternoon.
