Welcome to this year's princetonbasketball.com fundraising message. We're gearing up for covering another season of Princeton Tigers basketball!
Over the past eleven years princetonbasketball.com has continued to evolve. As the princetonbasketball.com network has grown, we've brought our donors more content each season to keep them informed about the extended Princeton basketball family and the Ivy League.
First, the straight-up boasting. princetonbasketball.com has covered the last ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN IVY LEAGUE GAMES in person. There is only one individual who can say they have seen each of these 113 conference games: princetonbasketball.com editor Jon Solomon. What other reporter or web site can say that? Not one. We've also been on-hand for every Princeton postseason game since 1983. With princetonbasketball.com you're reading a name you can count on for consistent, knowledgeable coverage that puts current events in a historical context.
princetonbasketball.com continues to be your best source for keeping track of the Tigers that many of you know as your sons, brothers and grandsons, your friends and your classmates.
If you have given to the site in the past, I hope you will renew for another season! Old memberships will expire on October 1st. Don't get locked out of your old account.
What does your donation go towards? Well, in 2007-2008 princetonbasketball.com brought you...
Daily News: Each morning a post appeared on the site with links to that day's articles from local and national papers. If it has been published on-line, we've found the article and passed it along to you. Since last year and now we wrote 422 posts - an average of more than one a day!
Premium Postgame Content: This past season princetonbasketball.com provided you exclusive on-site postgame audio from Coach Johnson and select players after twenty-seven of last season's games, including all fourteen Ivy contests. This is information that was not available anywhere else. You could also read detailed same-night recaps of all of the season's games, along with full box scores and cumulative team and player statistics. We're planning to cover every one of this season's games in person, with statistical previews for each opponent on game day.
Weekly Interviews with Coach Johnson: princetonbasketball.com produced a weekly interview program that featured a new in-depth discussion with Coach Johnson sixteen times over the course of the season, looking back at the previous week's games, previewing upcoming contests and talking about the state of Princeton basketball. This show also offered you a forum to ask Coach Johnson your questions. We look forward to taping similar interviews again this season.
Articles: In addition to the daily news, you could read exclusive features about Will Venable, Judson Wallace and our trip to Hawaii to cover Princeton in the Maui Invitational. We reported on our considerably shorter field trip to see the Vermont Frost Heaves play and were the first to speak to Noah Savage after he signed his contract to play basketball this season in Switzerland. We were the first to interview Howie Levy after he took over at Mercer County Community College and the first to announce that Lincoln Gunn would not be returning to play basketball at Princeton for his junior year. We let you know dates and opponents for 90%+ of Princeton's games this season before the official press release came out.
Exclusive Audio: In addition to postgame interviews and our weekly interviews with Coach Johnson, princetonbasketball.com also had bonus streams of the Maui Invitational press conference and sideline-to-sideline coverage of Princeton's annual Media Day available only for our donors. Expect similar bonus audio to be available in 2008-09.
Recruiting News: Here at princetonbasketball.com we tracked the incoming Tigers on a daily basis. We provided pictures and video of players you had only heard about, provided quotes from their high school coaches and were able to confirm rumors of commitments long before this news reached print media.
Seniors On A Stick: We brought back this Jadwin Gym tradition for the final home game of the season, honoring last year's seniors. Did you wave a poster saluting one of the five graduating Tigers? Another princetonbasketball.com production.
Alumni Updates: You'll always be kept up-to-date on the professional basketball (and baseball) careers of former Tigers through princetonbasketball.com, even those players playing in foreign ports of call. This summer princetonbasketball.com tracked Judson Wallace and Mason Rocca in Italy, Chris Young's performances with the Padres, Will Venable's time in Portland before being called up by San Diego, David Blatt's coaching successes on the international level and Konrad Wysocki's experiences with the German Olympic team.
All in the Family: Not only has princetonbasketball.com covered Princeton and the Ivy League this past season, but we were able to provide extensive information on Coach Thompson's Georgetown Hoyas (including reports from each day of the Big East Tournament), Coach Mooney's Richmond Spiders, Coach Scott's Denver Pioneers and Coach Carmody's Northwestern Wildcats. This will continue in 2008-2009, with the addition of Oregon State and Mercer County Community College to our radar. princetonbasketball.com will feature games from these teams in our daily news and offer bonus postgame coverage when scheduling allows.
Gameday Photographs: Thanks to your donations, we were able to bring photographer Stephen Goldsmith into the fold two years ago, providing readers with exclusive photographs of the Tigers in action that helped further enhance the Princeton basketball experience for those who were unable to see the games in person.
Schedule Sync: We're the only web site to offer an iCal schedule you can sync with your computer's calendar that has details on every Princeton, Georgetown, Northwestern, Richmond, Oregon State and Denver games. Select which teams you want to follow or subscribe to them all!

Being part of this community and the extended Princeton basketball family remains my genuine pleasure.
princetonbasketball.com was founded on April 28th, 1998 in an attempt to provide fans of the Princeton Tigers and Ivy League basketball with the best on-line source for up-to-date news and information. We have since expanded to launch a companion site, Georgetown Basketball News.
As these sites have continued to grow we have increased our coverage to include additional teams with Princeton connections - the Richmond Spiders, Denver Pioneers, Oregon State Beavers, Fairfield Stags and Mercer County Community College Vikings - plus former Tigers playing professional baseball and basketball all over the world. This site is not directly affiliated with the Friends of Princeton Basketball, Princeton University or the Princeton athletic department.
