Kansas/Missouri game today...Kansas player grabs rebound from behind in the last minute, kicks it out to teammate who nails a three-pointer.
Clark Kellogg's comments on CBS: "(A1) went over the back on (B1) to grab the rebound...and just because you go over someone's back does not mean you commit a foul" |
Yeah but on the Duke NC game today the commentators were calling for an over the back--Oh well all we can do is keep stressing the proper points
|
Yeah, I heard that one too. I like Billy Packer, but he does talk out of his a** sometimes.
|
Watched both the games, and noticed C. Kellog's statement as well. A great comparison between CBS's top two broadcast teams. One guy seems to understand what's going on the other just likes to hear his own voice.
I just hope and pray Bill Walton will be too busy doing the NBA on ESPN to work any of the NCAA's on CBS. |

Some of you may be too young to remember this ;), but years ago, Turner had an announcing team of Don Criqui and Rick Barry. Barry easily was the best commentator I ever heard. He was supportive of smart plays and unmerciful of dumb ones. He gave a real in-depth analysis of each team's strengths and weaknesses and made an incredible amount of sense.
They let him go because he was "too technical". There was some merit in that. To really appreciate his comments, you had to have pretty good knowledge of the intricacies of the game. The "average fan" was in way over his head. |
I was at a State Playoff game the other day. A-4 division 2-whistle crew. Rebounding action and lead blows his whistle. Preliminary call to partner says push.
When he reports to the table he gives color, number of offending party and the cursory "Kilroy was here" hands over the top of the fence as he announces "Over the Back"............Ouch !!! |
