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.

Musings from the college kid -- again

Because Mel has been very busy with traveling to West Point for the Maggie Dixon ceremony, and giving me his life story so that I can compile a profile on him for my News Reporting class at Rutgers... I am taking the reigns on the blog today.

Basically it's just because Mel would never tell anyone this himself, but it's his BIRTHDAY!! (I think I offended him yesterday by mis-hearing what year he graduated from Temple, tacking 10 extra years on -- oops!). But anyway... happy birthday Mel!

So, yesterday I got the scoop on Mel's creation of the AP poll and all of that for my paper. I've got a lot of contact numbers so I have to get in touch with some others to get quotes about Mel, but once that happens I should be able to have some fun with the assignment, also because Mel just sent me about 6 emails full of women's basketball history that I need to go sift through as I eat jelly beans (all but the black ones - they're gross).

And right now I've got to go write my articles for our school paper and actually study for my finals like Mel has alluded to, but once this semester is finished I should be around more and doing some WNBA things here and there over the summer. Thanks for reading and wish Mel a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
