History
D3hoops.com started as Division III Basketball Online in January 1995, when it was created by the Centennial Conference office and commissioner Steve Ulrich. Pat Coleman took over operation of the site in November 1997 and moved it to a server at Gallaudet University. The following February, the traffic to Division III Basketball Online overwhelmed Gallaudet's server, and Coleman was asked to remove the site. It took the domain www.d3hoops.com and was activated on Feb. 4, 1998.
When Coleman began a football site in the summer of 1999, named D3football.com, Division III Basketball Online was renamed D3hoops.com to match its partner site.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
