Or is Jay Bilas the basketball version of Gary Danielson when he announces a Vols game?

It's not you. He's obnoxious.

 

[OrangeAllDay]

Bilas is pretty terrible. I think there’s a special tier of crappiness for Gary Danielson. Everybody hates that guy

 

[Creeker]

Bilas is bad but he doesn’t even rival Danielson for me. Danielson is a special kind of awful.

 

[sportsnut624]

Sad part is he used to be pretty good when he first started. It’s amazing how some of these guys get worse with more experience.

 

[wmcovol]

yall too sensitive, he complimented the vols alot

It's you. He praised the Vols all game

 

[DooleyOrangePants]

It's you. He praised the Vols all game

And Taylor Swift.

Not even close

Bilas is one of the best and most fair analysts in the game. Some of our fans are determined to whine about everyone and everything.

 

[DarkVolder]

I like Bilas

 

[Kinger]

In every Tennessee game he calls, he makes sure to complain about the physicality of the game. Maybe he does that in all the games he calls though

Right, not liking Bilas doesn't have to be about whether he is pro-Tennessee, or not. I don't like Bill Walton, either, but it has nothing to do with his feelings on Tennessee. Bilas is just arrogant and smug which is why I don't like him.

He's fine. He leans toward the blue bloods like most of the ESPN guys. He compliments our defense and has told it like it is on our offense in recent years. Can't fault him for that.

Summarizes what I was going to say. He’s kind of a blue blood snob.

 

[Voljayton]

I'm ok with Bilas. Neutral for me. Danielson though....

He went to Duke, so of course he is, but I think he’s great at his job.

Yeah, I will give you that

 

[volsack7]

I like Bilas better than some of the other ESPN analysts. Not sure why the hate. Sure he likes the blue bloods, but which commentator doesn’t? At least he compliments us where due and gets his analyses right most of the time.

 

[Vol4gzus]

Maybe it was the "Bookem Dano " shirt that mesmerized many into visions of dislike...

 

[knoxvol52]

I never pay attention to what the announcers are saying ..I watch the game, the commentary is jibber jabber to me....but I don't sit and look for something to bitch about either...

 

[Pappy]

He went to Duke, so of course he is, but I think he’s great at his job.

and he was a damn good player

 

[Pappy]

He went to Duke, so of course he is, but I think he’s great at his job.

and he was a very good player

 

[omghulkhands]

It’s obvious Jay is bitter about us knocking Duke out of the tournament. He thinks we get away with being too physical.

But whatever. He is entitled to that opinion.

I do think despite this, he is a very good analyst.

Anyone is better than Bill Raftery.
He should have retired when Naismith retired.
