KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tuesday (Oct. 9) marks the unofficial start to basketball season as all 28 coaches descend upon Kansas City for MIAA Basketball Media Day presented by Seigfreid Bingham. The event, hosted at The College Basketball Experience, will be live streamed in its entirety for FREE on The MIAA Network.
For the first time since 2009, coaches from each MIAA program will take to the podium in the same place to kick off the basketball season. MIAA Commissioner Mike Racy will open the festivities at 9 a.m. before coaches from all 14 schools follow over the next five hours.
Head women’s basketball coach Tony Hobson and head men’s basketball coach Mark Johnson are scheduled to speak to the media at 12:15 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to tweet questions for coaches during their press conference by using #AskMIAA. Any person whose question is read during a press conference will receive two tickets to the MIAA Championship games Sunday, March 10.
Both teams start the regular season precisely one month after Media Day (Nov. 9), with the women opening at home against Southwest Minnesota State while the men take on Sioux Falls in Marshall, Minn.
