" The respect we would show KY, Duke, UNC, or any team that comes into AFH, or how a rival like Duke could have its fans wear Dean Smith t-shirts to honor UNC’s great coach, simply must remain as beacons for what should be exemplary behavior for all of college sports."
Very well stated and I agree 100%!

True… that is why he made a great commentator… because he actually had the experience behind his words. And he is definitely one of the most-successful coaches to teach the game. Bobby made some mistakes, too… especially with his temper… but his overall impact on the game was positive. I just wish we had more commentators with the right experience behind them so they could give fruitful commentary instead of the utter BS we are stuck with.
Sometimes I’ll get mad over a bad call by the refs. But always I get mad off the nonsense coming out of these clowns calling the games. And they are so busy trying to sound like they know what they are talking about they usually talk right over some of the most-important calls (or non-calls) in a game.
The job I want is to be a game video director. These are the guys typically working in the production trucks sitting outside the arenas that pick the angles on each live play and pick what gets replayed. Those guys miss a ton of key stuff. Most of the calls made by the commentators come from the game directors replaying something and the commentators start talking about it. Sometimes it works the other way around and the commentators call for a replay, but that isn’t typical. So many things happen and I want to see another angle or slo-mo and we don’t get to because the director misses it. These guys have a monstrous impact on the quality of the spectator game on the TV.
