Dave McHugh Host, Creator Baltimore, Md. dave.mchugh@d3hoops.com

Dave McHugh created Hoopsville in the fall of 2000. At the time, he was working for an internet-only sports broadcasting company and there was broadcast time available. Dave decided it would be worth trying to do a weekly broadcast that covered only Division III basketball. The rest, they say, is history.

McHugh is the host of the program and does all the production work as well. He has even taken the show on the road to the Final Four in Salem each of the past seven years.

Dave is a graduate of Goucher College with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Management. He became involved in Division III basketball in his first year at Goucher where he worked for the Sports Information Department while playing on the varsity soccer team. He also became the public address announcer for Goucher Athletics and is now in his 13th season as the "Voice of the Gophers." McHugh occasionally announces basketball games and other events for other schools in the Baltimore region.

McHugh is also a play-by-play & color commentator for D3hoops.com and D3football.com. The job has even given him the chance to call several Division III national championship men's basketball games for D3hoopsNet and the ESPN radio affiliate in Roanoke, Va. Dave was also on the call for the triple-overtime Sweet 16 game between Guilford and Lincoln last year, in which Guilford's Ben Strong scored a NCAA record 59 points.

Dave lives outside Baltimore, where he works for the ABC affiliate (WMAR) as a news and sports producer. He is engaged to Anne Krajewski

Pat Cummings Mid-Atlantic Regional Reporter Philadelphia, Pa. pat.cummings@d3football.com

Pat Cummings joined the show when it traveled to the Final Four in Salem five years ago ... and has been apart of it ever since.

Now as both a correspondent and Mid-Atlantic Regional Reporter, Pat can be heard literally all around the D3 map. Due to other obligations, Cummings may be the show's most traveled contributor. And while his responsibilities do have him in some strange places, Pat has yet to miss an opportunity to get a D3 game in.

Cummings graduated from Dickinson College ('02) with a B.A. in Political Science and Policy Studies. He got involved in Division III basketball when he was the studio host and producer for D3hoopsNet's first broadcast of the men's Final Four in 2000.

Cummings has also been one of D3hoops.com and D3football.com's featured play-by-play men; covering numerous games for the two sites from September to March of every year. Those games include the Stagg Bowl (Division III football's championship game) and many games at the men's Final Four in Salem. He has also called games for the Centennial Conference Basketball Network.

He currently lives in Philadelphia were he works as a retirement education specialist with The Vanguard Group.

Bob Quillman was one of the very first regional reporters Hoopsville ever had. He has been with the program every year it has been on the air and been apart of several Final Four broadcasts in Salem.

Quillman fell in love with Division III basketball his freshman year at Illinois Wesleyan (1989-1990). He watched games at Fred Young Fieldhouse, which he called "a cozy little venue that just seemed to smell like basketball. I felt I had stumbled upon something very special."

His junior year, Quillman became the play-by-play broadcaster for all Titan basketball games for the campus radio station (WESN). He now works for WJBC covering IWU basketball as either a play-by-play or analyst. He has worked for legendary play-by-play broadcaster Art Kimball (2001-2005) and now works with Eric Stock.

His experiences with IWU, the CCIW, and the rest of the Division III basketball world made him an easy choice as a regional reporter, especially for the very tough and vast Midwest and West regions.

In his own words:
I'm a 1993 graduate of Illinois Wesleyan with a degree in Risk Management. I've been employed by State Farm Insurance for 14 years, where I am currently the Manager of Franchise Relations at our Corporate headquarters in Bloomington, Illinois. I'm in my seventh season as the color voice of Illinois Wesleyan men's basketball on WJBC Radio, a commercial station in Bloomington."

I've been a regular follower of D3Hoops.com since 1998, the year I first posted on the message board under the handle "Titan Q." Pat Coleman's website has been a God-send for D3 fans and it has changed the face of Division 3 basketball. Through my involvement in D3Hoops.com I was connected with Hoopsville host Dave McHugh for the original season, and have been part of the show ever since. I'll be covering the Midwest region and the WIAC for you once again each week. Feel free to e-mail anytime - bobquill@aol.com. Thanks for your support of Division III athletics!

Jared Rosenbaum was co-host of Hoopsville in its first season on the air (2000-2001), before moving to Detroit and becoming the Great Lakes Regional Reporter in 2003.

Rosenbaum has been following D-III basketball since his playing career began at Goucher. He played for three season with the Gophers before graduating in 2001 (B.A. in Management) and becoming an assistant coach for the program (while earning an MBA in Finance at Loyola College).

Rosenbaum's playing, coaching, and scouting experience allows for a different perspective on the show throughout the season.

Rosenbaum has also traveled with Hoopsville to each of the Final Four's in Salem the last seven years and has been a color commentator for several D3hoopsNet broadcasts.

Rosenbaum now lives with his wife, Stephanie, in Birmingham, Mich., where he works as an investment banker, specializing in mergers and acquisitions.

Gordon Mann Atlantic & East Regional Reporter Philadelphia, Pa. gordon.mann@d3hoops.com

Gordon Mann is in his third full-time season with Hoopsville.

Mann is a 2000 graduate of Trinity College in Hartford, Conn. He has lived all over the country including Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern California, the woods of Connecticut, Central New York and now back in Philadelphia.

Gordon's first taste of Division III athletics came as co-Sports Director at WRTC 89.3 FM where he called football, basketball and hockey action for his beloved “Clamorin' Clucks.” He has had the opportunity to broadcast a wide range of sports including professional hockey, soccer and even gymnastics for television, radio and the Internet.

Mann helps cover the Atlantic and East Regions as a reporter for Hoopsville, but covers games up and down the eastern seaboard for D3hoops.com. He also covers the East region for D3football.com. And while not spending time for both sites, he tries to study for his Political Science classes.

Note: After handling public affairs and media relations for a New York State Senator, Gordon has gone back to school, working towards a master's at Penn. It's not D-III, but we'll forgive him this time.

Mark Simon Northeast Regional Reporter Plymouth, Conn.

Mark has been a contributor to Hoopsville, especially as the Northeast Regional Reporter and go-to guy when it comes to women's basketball.

Mark brings to the show not only incredible knowledge of the northeast, but also of the women's side of D3. That makes him one of the most versatile and knowledgeable reporters on the show.

Mark Simon lives in Plymouth, Conn. He is a writer, broadcaster and researcher. Mark has also been a contributor to both D3Hoops.com and D3Football.com.

He formerly worked as a sportswriter at The Trenton Times for seven years and is a 1997 graduate of The College of New Jersey, with a degree in English- Journalism.

Marcus Fitzsimmons South Regional Reporter Maryville, Tenn.

Marcus Fitzsimmons joins Hoopsville for the first time this season. He will help the show broaden its regional coverage and help dissect the South Region, something the show has been lacking for years.

While the South Region is certainly large, Marcus brings his experience of covering Maryville and the GSAC in basketball and the USA South in football. We certainly appreciate his help in covering the region and look forward to what we can learn from the South Region as the season progresses.

In his own words:
Marcus is on his third season covering Maryville College basketball
and the GSAC for The Maryville-Alcoa Daily Times as well as keeping an
eye on the USA South in football.

A relative D3 rookie when he started on the beat he's quickly come to
love the game played by "true student athletes." Marcus won a 2006
Golden Press card for his 10-part series on Division 3 athletic issues
last winter.

A University of Tennessee alum, Marcus when not in the newspaper
office occasionally is a guest analysist for WBCR radio and webcast or
may be found blinding the innocent with his amazingly white legs
poking out from beneath his Clan Graham kilt.

Rick has been an occasional contributor to the show for a number of years, including numerous appearances when the show has traveled to Salem, Virginia for the Men's Championships.

Rick primarily covers Roanoke Basketball and the rest of the ODAC for the local ESPN radio affiliate in Roanoke and Lynchburg, Virginia.

Rick will help us keep track of the ODAC and other South Region action through out the season.

John McGraw has covered Division III athletics for eight seasons, mainly in the eastern part of the United States. However, this year he has moved to Virginia and will be heard from once in awhile from that area.

McGraw is a 2002 graduate of the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College (not the same school from the movie "Road Trip") and remains busy outside of his Hoopsville responsibilities.

He is in his fifth season as a broadcaster for D3hoops.com and D3football.com and broadcasts games for both websites during the football and basketball season.

McGraw has been best know as the "Voice of the Cortland State Red Dragons" where he broadcasts football, basketball, ice hockey, and baseball, up-until this year.

McGraw has also been involved in broadcasting minor league baseball games. That work has included being the Director of Broadcasting and Media Relations for the Auburn Doubledays (short-season Single-A New York-Penn league team) and worked in the prestigious Cape Code League as broadcaster for the Harwich Mariners.

His most recent broadcasting achievement was as Director of Broadcasting and Medio Relations for the Watertown Wizards of the New York Collegeiate Baseball league. While with the team, McGraw was able to broadcast the 2005 NYCBL All-Star Game and Championship Series.

McGraw has lived his entire life in Upstate New York and currently resides in Virginia.

Pat Coleman has been an integral part of Hoopsville, almost since the beginning. He helped the show get notoriety and respect in the annals for D3 shortly after the show debuted in 2000. Ever since, he has been a contributor in many ways, appearing on the show from whenever there is a major story to even occasions where time needs to be filled. He served as co-host in studio on many occasions during the years.

Coleman is the editor and publisher of D3hoops.com and D3football.com and has been publishing information on the Internet since 1994. He has served as Sports Information Director at Catholic and Gallaudet in Washington, D.C., and the Capital Athletic Conference.

Coleman graduated from Catholic in 1994 with a degree in Spanish for International Service. He is currently the Sports Editor for the Verizon Central Newsroom after a stint as copy desk chief at NBCSports.com and more than a decade working for USA Today.
