Are you kidding? Gus Johnson should get the marquee draws.

"HEART! BREAK! CITY!"

 

[KingBobo81]

get Gus Johnson out? what is wrong with you?

 

[HuskerNKingwood]

it's official. I will not watch the South region on television...F Billy Packer.

 

[hookem2102]

Gus Johnson is greatness.

 

[UTFanFromAZ]

Gus Johnson is awesome....so much energy when he does games. Kevin Harlen is still pretty badass too though!

 

[DRAG69]

If you are watching on TWC HD you can easily pause the game for a second or so and line up Craig Way's call with the television. Much better.

CBS would be smart to move Chuck Cooperstein up to the national TV broadcasts. None better for basketball play-by-play in my opinion.

 

[doylehargraves]

Cooperstein is the best play-by-play in the business. I'm not sure why he isn't doing television, but he's simply outstanding.

It wouldn't make any difference to me if they dropped Enberg, Johnson, Lundquist or even Nance. They just need to get Harlan in the mix in the coming years for the regionals.

 

[TexLaw04]

I still cannot believe that Billy Packer is allowed to call basketball games. He should have been drummed out of CBS for being a UNLV apologist back in the day.

 

[Eating Club]

Listening to Billy Packer almost makes me want to hate basketball. Almost.

I like to pair up craig way with the broadcast. IMHO he's the best. I will sometimes pair up my rosebowl dvd with the craig way internet archived radio broadcast. Awesome stuff.

 

[KosherHorn]

Big difference between radio and TV play-by-play, and Cooperstein is much more appropriate for radio due to his on-air personality and his descriptive calls. He does the Mavs games on the radio now, I think.

 

[doylehargraves]

Yeah, Harlan has worked the final the last 3 years for Westwood One.

Agree on Cooperstein. Probably wouldn't work so much on television, but he's brilliant on radio. I can't believe he actually did Texas games for a year (maybe it was two). Would absolutely love to have him doing our pxp again.

surely even packer will recognize Augustine for the player that he is at minimum.
