Can I just say I love the guy.

He will be such a huge loss when he can no longer do color commentary. Keep bringing it as long as you can, Bill.

 

[Everyone]

You can say it.

But I have to disagree.

He doesn't really offer much besides his canned lines he seemingly plucks from his soundboard. Talks too much, often over the game. Never feels like he really knows anything about the teams that are playing. And that stupid rapidly-spoken thing he does at the beginning of games? Just horrible.

Raftery has a conundrum on his hands when he calls a Syracuse game and they win the opening tip.

They play almost exclusively zone.
