The Catholic League basketball playoffs begin next weekend. The quarterfinals will take place at Marion High School, on Saturday, February 19. The semifinals will be on Wednesday at Eastern Michigan, the championship game at EMU on February 26. UD-Jesuit, St. Mary’s, DeLaSalle, Brother Rice and Catholic Central all have talented teams this year and there should be some good games to watch.
In the past these games have generally been played at Calihan Hall, I’’m disappointed they won’t be this year and hope they will return in 2023. Perhaps the Covid situation is a factor in why UDM is not hosting any rounds of the tournament this year.

I noticed today that last nights Detroit Public School championship game was played at Oakland University.
From the Detroit News:
“Rochester — The PSL championship game took to the big stage at Oakland University’s Athletics Center O'Rena on Monday night and Detroit King repeated as league champs with an impressive 66-38 victory over Detroit Western.”

This has to be the Last Days. I wonder if it was well attended.

I’ve said for years calihan should be the Mecca for prep hoops in the area, all season guys saying “we are going to calihan”. Instead we sub let it out to Eastern and the dang o Rena. Fail. Major fail that better change next year.

We probably will not be able to keep whoever replaces Vowels because he will look like a miracle AD and one of the P5 schools will snatch him up after about 3-4 yrs.

God willing and the creek don't rise. It will be interesting whether the new president continues with the current chain of command. Until Gaither's malfeasance, the AD reported to a VP who reported to the President. Since 2013, Vowels has reported directly to Garibaldi. The department is down a lot of personnel and needs a major reboot with young competent people placed in the right positions. Especially, marketing, promotions, fan/alumni relations, and tickets.

I would be happy with such a miracle. Me, too. Successful mid majors lose good people to bigger, higher paying jobs. That's the price. 🙂 Cleveland State probably won't have Gates for long, but they are certainly enjoying him being the coach.

Some foresight by the AD I sure it will not happen like that at UD. Vowels would have to make a decision and then check with somebody, but who?

Good to read in this morning’s paper: Friday night’s Operation Friendship game (Detroit King versus OL St. Mary’s) will be played at Calihan Hall.

I was checking out the Michigan boys high school tournament brackets this evening. Looks like a couple of quarterfinal games will be played at Calihan Hall on March 22. Good to see. I assume the Catholic League Championship games were a Covid casualty this year and a good chance they will be back at UDM next season.
