Just another reason why retired officials should be hired as commentators.
How come only retired officials can get this job? If somebody wants to pay me to talk about basketball on TV, I'd take it, and still do my little Freshman games during the week!
Okay, so which is the immovable object, and which is the irresistable force? Would you bring announcing up to a new height, or would announcing bring you down to a new low?!?!? Would you start saying things like, "I don't know, Fred, it looked like a moving screen from here. I think they should have called that?" Or would your influence cause announcers everywhere to say, "I don't know, Fred, these refs are among the most highly trained professionals in the world. If they think it's a no-call, it's probably a great no-call."

Which would it be, Chuck?
