Generally speaking, I like when he calls games because he is usually very objective and ALWAYS sticks up for the conference when everyone else is bashing it. That being said, I don't think I can listen to him when he is calling a uk game. I don't know if he just likes to drink the blue koolaid or what, but he never sees anything wrong with them. then again, it might just be me being bias? thoughts anyone???

He has ties to Lexington - former Assistant Coach during Pitino's years if I recall correctly. He also coached at Arkansas I believe. He's not what you would call a UK homer but definitely knows his way around the SEC. I'm not a big fan of his because he always comes up with some of the goofiest terminology and then wears it out. (IE: Last season and his "VIOLENT CUT" phrase everytime Jodie Meeks touched the ball.) Geez that got annoying even to hardcore UK fans.

He loooooooves him some of Ogilvy's "frosted tips".

I don't like him, and hearing him reference that during the Vandy game 55 times sent it over the edge. I can't stand him.

I agree completely. His schtick seems to be to invent some basketball lingo and then try to theme the game around it. Half of the time that is annoying. The other half of the time it is just wrong.

I would much prefer a color man to provide insight that fleshes out the play by play. I've stated it before, but I think Greg Anthony generally does a solid job of this.
