McLaughlin moves on
American associate AD Ed McLaughlin is set to be named as Niagara's new athletic director. The announcement will be formally made in a press conference today.

Patriot League hoops fans might know McLaughlin as the guy who often traveled with AU's men's hoops team. But it apparently was his hockey background that helped land the Niagara job. Before coming to American, he was assistant athletics director at Merrimack. Merrimack is D-1 in hockey. McLaughlin also spent two years as a media relations type with Hockey East.

Long time readers of Hoop Time might remember McLaughlin as the guy from American's athletic department that chased us out of an Eagles practice session during the 2005 league tournament. We've long since shook hands and cleared the air.

We wish McLaughlin luck at the new gig. According to Tim Schmitt of the Niagara Gazette, he will need it.
