Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3376287, member: 6927"] Another topic for our Christmas hiatus: I know people love to complain about the commentators who annoy them. But I'd like to pay homage to some excellent ones who deserve to be more famous (and more frequently heard) than they are. [LIST] [*][B]Brenda VanLengen.[/B] Works for both Fox (especially Big 12 games) and ESPN/SECN. Sometimes play-by-play and sometimes color analyst. Extremely versatile and professional. [*][B]Christy Thomaskutty.[/B] Retired as head coach at Emory, has been working for ESPN/SECN for a couple years now. Always on-point with her observations from a former coach's perspective. [*][B]Eric Frede. [/B]Familiar to UConn fans, he just recently seems to be getting more national exposure on ESPN broadcasts. Fantastic PBP guy. [*][B]Kanoa Leahey. [/B]PBP guy for Hawai'i volleyball and basketball. Part of what many volleyball fans consider the best broadcasting team in the sport. A consummate professional. [*][B]Brooke Weisbrod. [/B]I'm currently listening to Brooke and Kanoa on a men's CBB game at Hawai'i. Truly a pleasure to hear such a professional and entertaining duo. [*][B]Dan Hughes. [/B]Fantastic color analyst. Even in the most mundane game, I always learn something when I listen to Dan talk basketball. [*][B]Mary Murphy. [/B]A Pac-12 Network regular. Does a great job of making an emphatic point with few words. [/LIST] Who else deserves more recognition? [/QUOTE]
