This guy turns my stomach. Why does CBS put up with a A-hole like him?

What I don't understand is why the coaches put up with him. He says at least as many stupid coaching things, as reffing things. If the public listens to him coach the way they listen to him ref, it's gotta hurt a little. Hey, Hawks Coach, or PA coach, or theboys, what do you think?

The coaches don't select the broadcasters.
The only way I can relate to this is: one of our local TV sports guys busted on our school the year before I got there. Made some backhanded comment about how they always lose at everything. (Meanwhile this year, all of the varsity sports have had winning records, and if girls' soccer doesn't screw it up, we'll make it to the end of the year that way.) Anyway, our AD and some of the other coaches have never forgotten the comment, four years later.
This same station came to do a piece on us in January, since we were having our best season ever. But I wasn't going to turn down the piece because I don't like one of their announcers!
Maybe I'm just missing your question.
