Tim McCormick is just bad at his job

[GoHawks24]

He does not bother me...I am way too focused on the action on the court,I guess.He is very enthusiastic,and exuberant,which is ok by me. Favorite college bb color guys? 1. Dakich.1A. Kellogg2.Gottlieb3. Bilas4. Elmore5. Keno Davis- newbie,but I thought he had some good insight.

Where is Gus Johnson? Should be #1.

Yea.. Gus is play-by-play, not color, IDIOT...

j/k, brah

This is funny. We play horrible so now everyone hates the announcer. Didn't hear a word about him after Saturday's win against Penn State.

You obviously missed this thread:

Check out any of my posts.

McCormick should not have a job on TV, he is one of the worst on TV...period

Dakitch is terrible too, seriously, just listen to him...have you watched him when he does an Indiana game...good lord.

Kellogg should have replaced Packer long before he did, he is great.

There just aren't a lot of good color guys...Vatale has lost it completely.

Play by play guys, I like Dan Shulman the best and then Gus.

I forgot how that story about White getting locked in somewheres went...........

You'll hear it AGAIN NEXT Thursday! So be aware!


I seriously thought I was watching a re-play then had to think about it.

Just my opinion,but I feel fans are way too sensitive to a color guys background, listening for any sign of bias toward their old school.

Guys like McCormick and Dakich are college analysts,unlike the pro guys,they seek to praise the teams on the court more often than not.
The best pure analysis in sports is on NBA broadcasts,imo. Doug Collins used to be great,Doc Rivers, Hubie Brown, Steve Kerr,Van Gundy...they do not mnce words,and really know what they are looking at.

College guys are aware that the players are not paid,and cut them more slack. Dakich will praise whoever is playing really....last nite he did Green Bay vs Someone,and he was giving the guy who was guarding Cougill high praise.

Every team I support has fans who are always angry at the broadcast guys...never bothered me.

No, there are guys that are terrible, like Dakich and McCormick and then are are guys like Jim Jackson that I enjoy listening too. It doesn't matter where they went to school.
