Dayton’s Doug Hauschild to be inducted into CoSIDA Hall of Fame

» LOOKING BACK: Hauschild’s son Mike called up to big leagues

Every time this year, for example, Dayton coach Anthony Grant or star forward Obi Toppin do a postgame interview or appear at a press conference, Hauschild is the one making that happen. This season, he has been busier than ever. The No. 4 Flyers have attracted attention from all over the country. The New York Times had a reporter at Saturday’s game.

"Doug is a true professional and embodies the values of the University of Dayton,” UD Athletic Director Neil Sullivan said in a press release. “He has dedicated his entire career nominating our coaches and student-athletes for awards, and promoting them and our programs to world. It's only fitting that he is now a Hall of Famer himself and recognized by his colleagues for his achievements in the profession."

Hauschild will be one of six honorees inducted at the CoSIDA Hall of Fame luncheon on June 8 in Las Vegas.

In addition to his duties with the football and men’s basketball teams, Hauschild has served as the media coordinator at the First Four for years. In all, he has worked 102 NCAA men’s and women’s tournament games at UD Arena since 1982. That included a NCAA-record 10 postseason games (NCAA and NIT) in an eight-day period in 2001.
