I've always felt that Norlander/Goodman have held a grudge because mean old Jim Calhoun wasn't very nice to them when they were starting out in the business.. Could be wrong, but the shade is just so obvious from both of them. Parrish is very fair and Jon Rothstein is the best in the biz IMO.

Goodman has been fairly reasonable since the move to ESPN. I still think he's a clown, but he seems to have reeled in his act a little bit. Rothstein is passionate but also kind of a tool, he's not the first I'd go to but there are worse for sure.

Is this a joke?

Anyone with a pen, pencil, computer, typewriter, or microphone discussing basketball.

I honestly think that outside of Seth Davis there is no bigger doofus covering the sport.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

Goodman had his chance to take a shot at UConn right here - Which are college basketball's most overrated teams? - but didn't do it.

Yeah, I get the sense he was anti-Calhoun more than anything (which is weird since he seems to love all other Boston guys). He was leading the Shabazz bandwagon in 2014 and I get the sense he'll probably do the same with Jalen Adams over the next year or two.

Bilas
Katz
Raftery

Bonus: Doris Burke

I think we are having two different conversations here. To me, Bilas/Katz/Raf/Burke don't even fit into the equation.

To me Rothstein is a "new media" analyst, meaning he's a Twitter / CBS website / then maybe a CBSSN guy as his 3rd most important reporting trait.

On tv he's marginal but if we're talking these clowns who claim they are "basketball writers" aren't even in the same area code as him.

Bilas writes 5x a year, Katz is an ESPN shill, and the others don't apply.
 
I really like Jon Rothstein. He covers the sport tirelessly, and even though hes quirky and somewhat strange, he's branded himself very well with his Rothstein-isms. He's a fair CBB reporter.
 
Jim Calhoun is the best ESPN dude. can't understand a word he says but ya know he's Jim

I didn't type that, but I think Doris is very good at what she does. She spoke at my school last year, the kids only knew her from 2K, but I thought she gave a fantastic talk.

IMO you have your Doris Burkes and your Jessica Mendozas.. The latter is bar none the worst @ her job than anyone in the history of... Jobs.

Try to be objective for a second. I can name ten dudes calling games who are far worse than Jessica Mendoza off the top of my head. We get a bunch of them doing UConn games.
 
If this is a shot @ Bucky Waters, I am willing to fight.
