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.

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
