I always like Joe D, and I never realized there was any negativity toward him until I read a thread on here a few years ago. Without question he was the voice of Uconn basketball over the last 25 years, and his voice is associated with the rise of UConn basketball into a national power under Jim Calhoun. I felt bad for him when we found out he was no longer the play by play man. I like Mike Crispino, but I think Joe D should still be involved with covering the team in major capacity since it seemed like the only reason he isn't the play by play guy anymore is because WTIC wouldn't let him out of the contract.
