Going back to at least JTIII, the coaching staff used to hold a conversation with alumni on the Saturday of reunions, through the friends of Princeton Basketball. You would get a look at the schedule and thoughts on some recruits - some funny questions by alums, but mostly seeing familiar faces.
Last year, they moved it to Friday at noon, which means only people who took time off work - major reunions, would be there and this year they canceled it and made the FOPB picnic longer. Wondering if anyone closer to Jadwin knows why the switch was made.

Kind of a bummer.

How does this coincide with the discontinuance of Jon's activity?

According to the e-mail I received there is a "Chalk Talk" by the coaches at noon on Friday in Lewis Library.

It wasn't on the list of Open Events for Reunions - perhaps this is now a "closed" event.

It's listed as 12-5 on Friday in the Reunions list of events. The location is shown as Hodes Plaza Tent. As mentioned by LotteryPick the location has been changed to Lewis Library Room 120.

Last year there was a talk at noon, followed by the picnic at 1:30. So perhaps this was an error, listing the picnic at noon-5pm, leaving out the talk in the new location.

Don't get me wrong. This has always been an tremendous opportunity that they have extended to the alumni. Really remarkable when you think about it. It wouldn't be surprising with internet/social media - that they thought there were other newer forms of access available.

There has been an addendum to the Reunions schedule posted.
Noon
Men’s Basketball: Coaches Conversation – New Addition.
To 1:30 PM. Sponsored by the Friends of Princeton Men’s Basketball. Lewis Library, Bowl 120.

Thanks for the updates. I'm glad it's still happening. The move to Friday still makes it prohibitive for me, but next year is a major reunion.
