The tournament was great, and we are honored to have been part of it. I want to thank long_ge for all of his work organizing and running the tournament. I want to say that I appreciate all of my fellow coaches who took part. I also want to congratulate presenttense on their win. Last year was the first Blue Earth Classic and the National Champion came from it. Hopefully it will again. Good luck to all.

Thanks again for letting us represent Cal CAA this year. This was a fantastic tourney with a deep and talented field. Congrats to Seattle on an impressive performance, and good luck to everyone.

I would be interested in serving as a guest commentator for whichever of my conference's teams are invited in the future. Let me know if interested. Thanks for all your work, long - great job!

Thank you long for a great job coordinating the tourney and for inviting me. Congrats to presentense on winning it all. GL to all the rest of the season.

Glad this went well and folks had fun with it. The write-ups mike and rock had were great, and I think having that sort of participation is really cool and makes things more entertaining (certainly more than me talking about who hit more FT or whatever...lol). I'll definitely touch base when we have Cal CAA teams, mike to get you in as a guest commentator as long as you are interested in doing so. Most years we should have GLV and CAA teams. I think a few other conferences like North American and Sunshine State (probably others too) are looking pretty strong these days too and should be frequently in the Classic. Anyway, if anyone ever wants to be a guest commentator either for previews or results (with no long term commitment), let me know and we'll make it happen.

Excited to be a part of this next season!

Bummer..... shoe took the job at UConn and is in the tournament next season. I assume someone will take that position. But it changes the dynamic somewhat

Welcome aboard. And no offense to you at all sir. It's just a surprise addition to the tournament. I would feel the same if it was me that left Coker and someone took my school.

Hope you do well there. i'm sure you will. And I'll see you at your place.... week 6!

Thanks, topdog. Looking forward to it. -kb
