Message: [QUOTE="tomcat, post: 4518736, member: 961"] I don't think I have heard a worse job of announcing since I've been watching WCBB. It was less the play-by-play person than the alleged color commentator, whose windy stories (seemingly told only to prove she'd researched the teams) cut into time when we should have been hearing the play-by-play guy call the game. It seemed to me that she must have been told to fill all the available air space with words. The resulting verbal diarreah was distracting at best and downright annoying at worst, which was most of the time. Most of what she said was irrelevant to the action on the court at the time. Very little of it had to do with the on-court strategy or other things that would allow the audience to relate to what they were seeing. The play-by-play announcer was too meek, allowing his sidekick to dominate the air at times when he should have been describing the action. These folks made Bestwick and Culmo look really, really good. [/QUOTE]
