Now in his 26th season at the helm, McKillop spent the morning meeting with both print and electronic media, sat down for one-on-one interviews with ESPN's Dana O'Neil, the A-10 Network, Campus Insiders as well as SNY, and provided promotional pieces for the conference's "Next" campaign.
In addition to the annual festivities that took place at the site of this year's conference tournament, the 2014-15 Atlantic 10 Preseason Poll and Teams were released.
