Even at D3 the coaches get antsy in their pantsy.

Trine won the D3 national championship in 2024. Nice private university in northeast Indiana.

Looks like they have a nice facility as well.

I hate to see Coach Vanderwal leave Marietta.

I've seen Trine play in person a few times in recent years. They've been good for awhile. Their previous coach just accepted an assistants position at Central Michigan.

To give you an idea of how Trine views athletics, Bob Knight was their commencement speaker a number of years ago.

It's semantics, but he received an Associate Head Coach gig at CMU. Not too shabby for a D3 coach.

Nope, not too shabby at all. Because it’s hard to move from the DIII to DI level, even with success.

Do some digging and you will find out why Vanderwal is no longer coaching at MC.

So, is that a step up? Don't know much about Heidelberg basketball. Once back in the day, I saw a football game at Heidleberg.
