Gordon selects Southbridge Public Schools AD Jason Linders as its next AD. Linders previously served in senior leadership roles at Grand Canyon (DI) and South Florida (DI) . Linders: "As a department, we will ensure Athletics is aligned with Gordon's educational mission, we will collaborate with our campus leaders and student body, engage with the Gordon community, and integrate faith and service while we strive to create the best possible student-athlete experience. While we can use Athletics as a platform, our higher purpose is provide our student-athletes with services, programming, and support that fosters comprehensive success (including competing for championships) as they navigate their faith journey with strong academic programming in a Christ-centered, inclusive environment that empowers their passion and prepares them for a life of purpose and service."

The Top 16 teams for Men’s (link) and Women’s (link) Basketball have been unveiled. On the MBB side, Hampden-Sydney, Randolph-Macon, Widener and John Carroll were the top four, while NYU, Rhode Island College, Wisconsin-Whitewater and Bowdoin led the WBB rankings. Washington & Lee Assoc. AD/WBB Chair Bethany Dannelly and Rochester MBB HC/MBB Chair Luke Flockerzi joined Hoopsville’s Dave McHugh to discuss the process and more. Dannelly on the impact of having second hosting priority: “Your biggest consideration is you don’t want to significantly disadvantage these teams who have worked all season to be a high-ranked team. […] Part of it is going to depend on who puts bids in to host and how can you structure things while creating a national bracket.” Asked about a flight limitation, Flockerzi: “We’re never given a number. Obviously we’re given a charge to try to limit flights as much as possible. Hopefully I’m not oversharing here, Bethany and I have had conversations that our goal this year is to get told no as many times as possible. We want to really push and do everything we can to fight for the best national tournament and best bracket we can put together.” Lots more. (link)
