Andy Landers

Andy is better, I guess, but I just can't warm to his style.

He is only better when Lobo keeps needling him and takes a little of the air out of him. Then he sounds reasonable.
 
Seriously???? Wow, that's amazingly hard to imagine. That old expression, "different strokes" is so evident here. To me, that's like someone saying they would rather listen to LBJ over JFK. The comparisons are sooooo extreme, to say the least. You may too young to understand the comparison.
Really ? Since I was 10 when JFK was assassinated, I doubt it . I hate the way Doris builds up her anti uconn crap early in the game. Then, once huskies are up 20 she changes in mid stream. Hughes did a great job today. I like someone who actually explains what and why !
 
As hard as I have been on him, today his post-game performance was really quite good. I did not see half time. When he stops trying to be big picture dramatic and re-engages his basketball acumen and explains what was on the floor, he is an asset. Can't go toe to toe with Rebecca, but she's had a lot of experience on the desk.

Nevertheless his pauses while showing his thought processes just kills me when what comes out is so pedestrian. It's like every empty air second is a senior moment.

Yes, we all hold our breath ... Andy, Andy dead air is not a good thing. Pregnant pauses are not good when there is no birth when they end.

LOL. More like afterbirth.

I have really enjoyed Andy as an announcer this year. I also love Rebecca, Kara, Maria, and Nell. Kara and Rebecca with Andy have been fun listening.

I loved today when he was talking about old-style post play and Rebecca says, "What am I, a cave man?"
 
I like Andy better in the studio than when he was coaching; he was just too intense on the sidelines. In the studio, he comes across a good old boy you'd love to spend an hour or two talking hoops with. (Apologies for ending a sentence with a preposition).
 
On a mild tangent, I love Maria Taylor in the anchor position. She's knowledgeable, quick, funny, and asks good questions of her panelists. Not her fault that the answers she gets from the coach are flat-lined upon arrival.
 
I thought he stroked out a few times today during a few of his pauses. If there is a basketball cliche he hasn't used, give him time.

Rebecca is doing a Great job and must be exhausted by now. I have been watching them since the UConn game all day, and she and the other young lady are doing a very nice job. I like how feisty she is about the the Miami player fouling the FGCU player in the last seconds of the game. Bet you can't wait to go home to the kids and have a glass of something. Well done.

Oh, I think that Rebecca is the only one on the panel that has a Women's College Basketball Championship ring.
 
I like Landers but he just missed a great lead in question from Rebecca Lobo. She was referring to when Gabby mentioned that she is most dangerous without the ball because nobody is paying attention to her and Rebecca was really impressed with that and asked 'coach wouldn't you love to have all players with that mindset?' and Landers totally missed it and started talking about field goal percentage lol.
