I'm guessing if this tournament is a success - and I think it will be - then the powers that be will either move it to a permanent 'neutral' site (bad idea) or rotate it (OK if the sites are acceptable, would like the Palestra to continue to be in the mix). I think the season has already been a success. I had been totally opposed to a tournament but it has made the games more intense and fun to watch.
The ideas floated by the Princeton coaches are bad. You can't have a tournament in a 2,000 seat arena - it would be worse than those one game play-ins Penn and Princeton used to play at Stabler. Having the top seed play one fewer game is awful - but why stop there? Maybe the top seed can shoot at a 9 foot hoop and their opponent shoot at a 12 foot hoop? If you want the top seed to win so badly then don't have a tournament.
PS - I had a rotary phone until not too long ago when my wife made me throw it out. I am always up for a game of bridge, whist or pinochle.
