Actually, I think it was a good move by the broadcasters. I happen to be out and had to hear it on the radio. JT was very good with his interjections, and they never crossed each other where both where trying to talk at the same time. JT also was very critical of Georgetown at times, giving what I thought, maybe not, inside information, like at times his weakness is not good defense. However, I also think both announcers got caught off-guard with NC completely dropping off in the OT. They did not expect that, and towards the end of the OT, they had to play up the fact that this team was damn near shut-out in the OT. A classic meltdown! I don't understand why NC didn't use a timeout during that run!
Now, the magic. All of the players came over to not shake the senior coaches hand, but to hug him. It was very emotional. I felt the emotion from the radio and I didn't even see the game. Say what you want but GT just coming back to win that game was emotional, but a double, to have JT senior hug his son at middle court afterwards, was truly a magical moment. That's like hitting a homerun in baseball for the broadcasters. Seeing my son coach a team like that to his first final four, from the same school that I coached. That has got to be special for that family. JT a class act, bottom line, you won't go wrong with him commentating any game.
