Thought it was interesting listening to the announcers having a civil argument on the same player being called for an offensive foul as he pivoted and struck the defender with a forearm knocking the defender down. Color: "Doesn't the defender have to give him space." Play-by-play (I believe Billas) "No, the defender is entitled to his spot on the floor." Pitt player ended up being benched for remainder of the game for getting a T on the same play.

Bilas is the color guy. More often than not the PBP guys are clueless, while some of the color guys have actually played and have somewhat of a clue. I know announcers get a bad rap on here, but there are a few who know what they're talking about. People don't like Bilas, but I don't mind him.

I've liked Bilas, although occasionally he will degenerate and follow the "blame-the-ref" crowd.
