"The System"-Grinnell Basketball On ESPN

<p>From the Grinnell website:
The Grinnell College men's basketball team and its run-and-gun system will be the subject of a feature story scheduled to be shown on ESPN's College GameDay on Saturday, Feb. 9. The program airs from 10 to 11 a.m. Central time. </p>

<p>A crew from the sports network was on campus Feb. 1 and 2 to interview coaches and players, plus shoot footage of practice and Saturday's game against Illinois College at Darby Gymnasium. </p>

<p>Oh, thanks--I'm going to watch. I saw the tail-end of a game on one of our visits. Very intense and fun to watch.</p>

<p>I watched the whole show and didn't see it. Was it a momentary clip that I blinked and missed?</p>

<p>Same here...
What's the deal? I heard more than I care to about Bob Knight and Louisville, though.</p>

<p>Waaay more than I cared to.</p>

<p>If you tuned in to ESPN Saturday morning to catch the story on Grinnell’s men’s basketball team, you already know that the network did not broadcast the piece. We do not know why it was pulled, but such is the nature of the news business as producers make coverage decisions from minute to minute, even in sports. We have not been informed as to when the Grinnell story will be rescheduled, but will share the information with you when we receive it.</p>

<p>I’m sorry if this caused any inconvenience.</p>

<p>All best,</p>
