Changes in The Horde

[UConn Hoops1]

Anybody know what happened to Phil Chardis(Manchester Journal Inquirer) or Mike Anthony(Hartford Courant. I see Neil Ostrout(who used to write for the Connecticut Post) is now handling UConn hoops at the Inquirer and Dom Amore is now covering UC hoops at the Courant. I particularly miss Chardis who I thought was one of the top 2 or 3 reporters covering the program. Did he retire?

He's now the SID (Sports Information Director) at UConn

Mike Anthony is still at the Courant but decided he didn't want to travel with the Huskies any more and took a less stressful assignment.

Thanks one and all. Great to have Phil as an "official" member of the UConn sports family. But I will really miss his writing. He seemed to have the inside track on a lot of info the rest of The Horde did not; and his analysis of games and off court situations/issues was always top notch.

He did indeed have an inside track, which is probably how he became SID.
