A-10 works out deal with ESPN
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - The Atlantic 10 Conference and ESPN agreed to a two-year television contract extension to televise both men’s and women’s basketball games through 2012-13.
The A-10 will make at least 32 appearances in each of the next two seasons across ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPNU. The agreement also includes a live telecast of the women’s championship finals in 2012 and 2013.
During the 2010-11 season, A-10 men’s and women’s basketball made 56 total appearances on ESPN’s networks.
Schools appearing in the broadcasts have yet to be determined.
“We are extremely pleased to have an outstanding partnership with ESPN,” league commissioner Bernadette McGlade said in a statement. “The exposure, quality of the telecasts and national reach of ESPN and its networks is invaluable to A-10 Basketball and the league.”

No big schools want Juwan Staten. Now, Staten is crying.

From Doug’s article in Thursday’s DDN regarding Archie Miller. Drake coach Mark Phillips says “He’s going to be a real, real superstar in this business.” I hope that Coach Phillips is correct. Problem is as he approaches that level he’ll be leaving to coach somewhere else, so he’ll be a superstar for another school, not UD. That’s the problem with Wabler’s choice. Other than that, I wish Archie nothing but success while he calls UD home.

Coach Miller’s most important period begins today.What he does with this team between now and our first game will determine his true worth and the flyer faithful wish him the best…If he truely is a tireless recruiter as advertised,regrouping these troops will present a tremendous challenge, like never seen before in UD history.
