Liked what Allen Bestwick sais at the end of today's telecast.

What a great way to say at the end of the UCONN women's basketball final 13 year telecast by the SNY Network's play-by-play broadcaster, Allen Bestwick: "Don't cry cause it's over, smile because it happened."

A perfect thought to leave us with. Thanks, Allen, Meg, Chelsie, Gary and Kara and the entire SNY crew. We will miss you but we are smiling because for 13 years we knew we could count on you to deliver UConn WBB like no other. It's been a great run.

Yeah, I for one loved SNY telecasts and crew. They have been great.

You will always be part of the UConn family
You will be missed

Does anyone remember who Allen Bestwick replaced as play by play announcer?
Just wondering...
I'm going to answer my question...I believe it was Eric Frede. I enjoyed his UConn play by play and his name popped into the ol brain as soon as I decided to hit the sack. I also liked his NCAA Softball play by play work.

First was Andrew Catalon(?). Not sure if others followed before Alan.

I was thinking of Eric Frede.

It was Eric Frede. I remember Allen Bestwick calling NASCAR races before he did the UCONN broadcasts.

Allen replaced Eric Frede

SNY was a great partner, as was CPTV!!

Was Bob Picozzi on SNY or just CPTV?

Another voice I liked. Not sure if he did games for SNY but he did some ESPN games with #50 as his analyst. I know they did the infamous Katie Lou AAC Championship game in 2017.
Loved listening to the both of them in that game.
Eric Frede and Rebecca also did AAC tournament games.

Makes me sad to see them go. Meg was like the old, familiar pair of jeans. I thought Allen was a real pro. I liked Eric a little better but Allen was good. I'll also miss Chelsea. She was one of the better sideline people SNY had.
