Message: [QUOTE="RSHERMVIKES, post: 2291270, member: 2251"] I always liked Doris Burke! She is a passionate backer of WBB, Geno & UCONN, among other aspects of BB. She was honest when she said how great Geno is as a coach and person, saying other programs shouldn't attack him for his success, go to him for advice and some tidbits to make your program better and how she would have loved to have played for Geno and she wishes Geno could coach her BB playing daughter! It's not often in MBB or WBB, both College and NBA, and WNBA where a commentator would go out on a limb to publicly back a coach/program! I love anyone that is so passionate about what they do, Doris Burke, Dick Vitale, Holly Rowe, Jim Valvano, Craig Sager, Jay Bilas, among some others, that put themselves "out there" to preach to the choir! Holly Rowe and Craig Sager ARE & WERE, two national treasures that come along not often enough! There are too many cookie cutter, announcers/commentators in sports today! [/QUOTE]
