A Package of Delights From WBHOF Weekend On the Local Blog

By Mel Greenberg

Friday night the Guru will be on Newark, N.J., as the New York Liberty host the Connecticut Sun.

But while enduring a GPS map update on the laptop, the William "Willbill" Ewart collection from the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame induction weekend arrive and so right now over at http://www.philahoopsw.com you will find four files -- the Jim Foster induction speech and photos, the Sue Wicks induction speech and photos and then two predominately photo files --apparently the internet does have its limits -- showing acceptance speeches, the brunch presentations -- a long day in the life of Debbie Antonelli -- the sociality at the Geno Auriemma-Holly Warlick pre-induction reception and some Guru hobnobbing around shots.

Needed you all to come here first to see what traffic looks like before you head over there.

But while the Guru has your attention, an update note to the philly summer league schedule. It appears the championship round will be a one-game winner-take-all instead of best-of-three, in part because it would mean stretching another week into August when many players depart.

If wrong, will have the commissioner give the correct reason.
