The Only Time I've Ever Enjoyed What Doris Burke Had to Say

Well, Purvis driving the lane is almost like a missile attack on the UConn offense.

Agreed, Purvis driving the lane has been known to cause pain and heartbreak

I think Doris was spot on last night. I enjoy her analysis more than any other analyst out there.

Doris is very good. If the same words came out of Bilas' mouth, you wouldn't be critical. She is better than lots of her male peers.

When Doris Burke got pretty heated about the horrible foul called on Boat that lead to his technical might've been the only time I've agreed with or found value in anything she's said.

I was delighted on her reaction and commentary. I think she doesn't get enough credit. I know I'll probably get jumped on by saying this but I think there is a bias. Not that she is a woma but that we are not as used to hearing women in the business. I am not saying she's great but I do think she more than holds her own and she is not afraid to call things out.

theres definitely a bias. i have friends who trash doris and kara lawson (also very good) solely because of their gender, i dont think they even pay attention to their analysis and professionalism

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Put me squarely in the "I like Doris" camp. I think she adds insight without trying to look smarter than everyone watching, she calls it straight, and I think she is a real pro. She is better most of the former coaches who broadcast IMO.

I thought Doris Burke has been underrated for a few years now.

 

[Shabazzkets]

I think Doris is really good as well. Smart, knows her stuff, and does a much better job maintaining her neutrality than some others (cough, Vitale, cough).

Didn't realize you were friends with mau!

Raftery, Bilas & Burke are head-and-shoulders above all the other analysts out there at the moment. I think Kara Lawson is great, too.

My only issue with Doris is when she hosts - she's adequate at best. But for color commentary she's tough to beat.

I'm with you.
