Postseason Notes:

+ For the first time, this year’s MBB championships saw two women serve as officials. (link, link)

+ D3Hoops’ Coleman writes on the host selection for sectionals as Region 10 was not selected to host and has hosted one WBB in the last 56 sectionals and one MBB sectional in the history of sectionals: “This was a year in which the NCAA could have given the Region 10 women a bit of a makeup call. So many years, the decision has been made by seeding, except when it costs more money to maintain seeds. Then seeds are out the window. This year, there is a women's sectional which includes Christopher Newport, Trinity (Texas), Tufts and Wartburg. None of these schools are within 500 miles of each other. It costs more or less the same no matter which of these four schools hosts. Christopher Newport cannot, because the men are hosting this weekend. But even so, when the money is not the object, Trinity and Region 10 still do not get the call. This is allegedly a call strictly on seeding, but if the NCAA really wanted to represent Region 10, it certainly could have justified giving the sectional to Trinity. Trinity was even ranked ahead of Tufts in the Top 16 when the committee released them in mid-February. This is a miss, and only adds fuel to the fire from the American Southwest Conference, Northwest Conference, Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference and Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference when they ask Division III leadership why they get snubbed on a regular basis.” (link)

Linfield suspends MBB HC Rosenberg for a verbal altercation with a parent during the team’s season finale. Reports indicate that student-athletes and parents attempted to speak with AD Killgore, but were told he could not discuss a personnel matter. The group then proceeded to request time with President Davis, who stepped out of a board meeting to engage the group for 45 minutes. Rosenberg was apparently told employment with the university could be immediately terminated, or he could take 21 days to consider a severance agreement. That same day, Killgore e-mailed the team to indicate the suspension was “still in place until we have a resolution.” Per Assoc. VP for Communications Nelson: “The university has heard from many people in the past week, some of whom support Coach Rosenberg and others who have concerns about his demeanor and actions over the years. We appreciate hearing from all of them, and respect their perspectives. No single incident or message will necessarily determine whether the athletic department decides to keep a coach after the season concludes.” (link, link)

It’s been 20 years since the NCAA introduced its corporate champion and partner program, which included media and marketing rights for March Madness and other college championships together for the first time, and SBJ’s Smith observes that the program “rolls into [this year’s] March Madness with a robust program of three longtime champions — AT&T, Capital One and Coca-Cola — and 13 partners. Coke’s deal has lasted 20-plus years — the first iteration of it was valued at $500M over 11 years — and it is still going strong.” CBS SVP for Sakes and Marketing Simko: “Having relationships that in some cases go out two decades or more, that’s really given us the opportunity to grow and innovate around them. You’re able to build a trust as you go down this journey together and develop friendships. Having that level of trust, where we’re talking about how to help one another’s business as opposed to transactions, is really where you’re trying to get to.” Warner Bros. Discovery EVP for Ad Sales Diament adds: “When you have partners that have been around a long time, that doesn’t mean you can’t innovate or that things don’t evolve. You’re still in a position to try new things even though you might have had that partner for a long time. The media landscape changes. Social media changes.” (link)
