Joe-mentum

WRGW favorite and all-around good guy Joe McKeown has signed a contract extension to stay at the helm of the GW women's basketball program through the year 2014.

McKeown has always been a big supporter of what we do at the station. One of the best experiences I've had while covering colonials basketball came a couple of years ago when I called two women's road games over a weekend in February. While trips to Duquesne and St. Bonaventure didn't seem like too much fun when I was initially assigned to them, spending time with McKeown and picking his brain about life and the game of basketball was a pretty cool experience. David Earl and I were invited to watch game tape with the coaching staff and then chat with McKeown late into the night. A lot of the stuff he told us that night was off the record, but trust me: the guy has some amazing stories.

Anyhow, we're all glad you'll be sticking around, coach. Congratulations.
