The 2023-24 Division III Basketball season was exiting from start to finish - even if some parts turned out as expected.

On the first off-season Hoopsville Podcast, Pat Coleman, Gordon Mann, and Ryan Scott take time to look back on the season with Dave McHugh. Each have a favorite moment, surprise, and something they will remember about the season that was. Plus, what will each be looking to ahead of the next season.

Plus there is plenty of news to try and get up to speed on. The Coaching Carousel is spinning and garnering some headlines, the American Southwest Conference continues to be dismembered, NPI/Pairwise is passing it's way through Division III, and schools closing continue to damper things.

21.29: Season Recap

If you enjoy watching the NBA, you may not realize just how much Division III is impacting the games, players, staffs, and teams of the National Basketball Association.

The Hoopsville Podcast returns with an episode that not takes a dive into just how Division III alums are playing significant roles in the NBA. Beyond those who have made headlines like George Popovich, Brad Stevens, Devean George, Duncan Robinson, and others. Dave McHugh chats with Ben Kaplan, co-author of "Pipeline to the Pros: How Small-College Nobodies Rose to Rule the NBA," about not only the inspiration behind the book, but some of the incredible items he learned while putting the book together. Even more astonishing, the book could have been so much longer.

We also get a bit of a state of DIII basketball of sorts. McHugh talks to Mike McGrath, UChicago men's coach, about the season that was, the incredible depth now in the UAA, and what makes DIII tick. Their conversation took place in Fort Wayne during the Division III Men's Basketball Championship Weekend and is the first of several interviews that took place that weekend which will air over the summer.

Plus there is a number of items to cover in News and Notes along with the ever spinning Coaching Carousel. We recap some of the surprising coaching changes, how Pairwise (a.k.a. NCAA Power Index or NPI) is pushing forward though not approved just yet, school closings and updates, and a coach is reprimanded. It is a jam packed and in-depth episode of the Hoopsville Podcast.
