Dick Luedke Retiring
(St. Louis, MO) – Dick Luedke is one of the nicest men that I have met. The Illinois State play-by-play man is retiring. It makes us happy for him and sad for us that he is hanging up his headsets.
While treasuring his role as a conduit between the basketball program and the fan base, Dick believes it is time to step back and spend more time with his family. At some point this month he will announce his last Redbird basketball game.
The Redbirds play Indiana State on Thursday at 6:00 p.m.
During our conversation, Luedke talked about his fondness for former head coach Dan Muller and fellow Missouri Valley Conference play-by-play guys. Enjoy our conversation with Dick Luedke here, or listen to it at Valley Hoops Insider Podcasts.

Flooding, lightning strikes, etc. have cost @RacersHoops two home games. Had to play 'neutral site' tonight instead of at home and Wednesday's goes from home to away. Tough break for the Racers, and the whole area has been hit with difficulties. #FatherHarry
Murray State's scheduled home game Wednesday vs. Southern Illinois being moved to Banterra Center in Carbondale. #ValleyHoops
Gigantic game for @BradleyUMBB today in Des Moines. If they have a chance to catch @DrakeBulldogsMB, they have to win today. The Bulldogs can basically win the title today. @BustingBrackets breaks it all down. #FatherHarry https://bit.ly/3EGiVgi
Not rooting for any particular @ValleyHoops, but chaos is always fun. If things break certain ways, after today there could be a six-way tie for fifth place.
Fun to listen to @MLBLarry on the @SIU_Basketball/@BelmontMBB game tonight. Good job brother. #FatherHarry
