Most PBP I like, not all color commentary guys I enjoy though. Rafferty I enjoy, I assume we'll get them TH? I haven't been many new play by play guys that are good at all. Most of the guys on ESPN and Fox I have never heard of. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 I've been impressed by Nick Bahe the last couple of games that I've watched that he worked. You can tell he knows the game very thoroughly and watches some video before the games he does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most basketball guys are at least OK, if a little over the top like Dickie V. I thought Raphael was wrong on several things in the Nebraska game (No intent on the Nebraska player hip-checking TJD while he was in the air for one thing), but I'm willing to give him a chance as a new guy. Hummel though, seems like more of a natural talent behind the microphone. The only guy I think is really (I mean really) bad is Walton. Bill should stick to the bong and stay off the air. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 (edited) Some of the play by play guys I like is Kevin Harlan, Gus Johnson and Ian Eagle. There are some analyst I use to like but once they got popular they changed like Jay Bolas,DD and Bill Walton. If you go back and listen to Walton back in the 90's when he started he was actually pretty good. He did one of our tournament games in 92 when we played LSU and Shaq.

One of the guys in the studio last night said one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. He said maybe Woodson left TJD out of the game was to see how the team would with out him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying this trying to be funny...I honestly wonder if Walton smoked so much weed he's permanently impaired. That or he simply gets stoned before every broadcast. He just says some of the goofiest crap on the air and I'm surprised his bosses tolerate it. ...and I think you're right about how he used to be. My memory isn't great in that regard, but I remember thinking he used to be a lot better than he is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the announcer when Reggie Miller scored 8 points in 9 seconds plus the Malace in the Palace. He did a good job and actually called the game.

btownqb Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 Another abysmal call was the "jump ball" when TG drove with just under 2 mins. In no way did the NEB defender ever possess that ball, but Grandpa had to intervene, so he decided on a jump ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The angle from under the basket justified, like you said, on the road by B1G officials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
