Womhoops Guru

Mel Greenberg covered college and professional women’s basketball for the Philadelphia Inquirer, where he worked for 40 plus years. Greenberg pioneered national coverage of the game, including the original Top 25 women's college poll. His knowledge has earned him nicknames such as "The Guru" and "The Godfather," as well as induction into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2007.

ECAC tags Greenberg with award

By Kate Burkholder
Since Mel is currently headed to (or planning to head to) Knoxville to cover Geno Auriemma's (and five others') induction into the WBB Hall of Fame, I am going to be the one to inform the world about Mel's being honored as the 2006 Eastern College Athletic Conference-Sports Information Directors Association (ECAC-SIDA... say that one ten times fast) media award winner.

The award is to be presented to Mel on the evening of Thursday, June 8 at the ESPN Awards dinner in Oneonta, NY at the 2006 ECAC-SIDA workshop.

The award is given each year to a print or electronic media member who displays "outstanding coverage of Eastern intercollegiate athletes," and is selected by the ECAC-SIDA board of directors.

Past award winners have included Joe O'Gorman (Trentonian) in 2004 and Harvey Yavener (Trenton Times) in 1992, both of whom I know from covering the Rutgers women's basketball team, as well as other great contributors to college sports in the media.

Because Mel is en route to Tennessee, he could not be immediately reached for comment, but I am sure he was very happy to add this to his enormous list of other awards.

Mel's work from Knoxville will appear in the Saturday Inquirer and on Philly.com, and he will also be blogging.
