Ted is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Hoop Historians.  Reineking has worked DePaul University mens basketball games as either its TV Time-out coordinator or play-by-play statistician since 1979.  Ted has attended 260 NCAA Tournament games, the most of any Hoop Historian.  In the early nineties, Ted completed a rare "double-double" by seeing 12 first and second round games in two different cities over a four day period in back-to-back years, as Reineking watched games in Louisville and Dayton in 1991 and Cincinnati and Dayton in 1992.  A devout follower of Notre Dame football, Ted has seen the Fighting Irish in action on over 200 occasions.
