Favorite/Best College Basketball Announcer?

[oldrambler]

Another thread on announcers/commentators got me thinking. Who are your favorites and who do you think is the best ever?

 

My favorites today (in no certain order) are Dick Vitale, Bobby Knight and Jimmy Dykes.

I am sure that there are ones that I haven't thought of.

 

Best of All time.....Al McGuire, Cawood Ledford, Jim Valvano

Gus Johnson

Did you mean announcer or broadcaster?

 

PA announcer, the guy who was the PA announcer at Freedom Hall for years. Sorry don't remember his name. He called most of the Sweet 16 games at FH as well.

Broadcaster, Gus Johnson

While the first two are controversial, the last one leaves me dumbfounded.

 

Seriously? Violent cuts? Covers so much ground in two dribbles? I slept on Adolf Rupp's couch? You want to take shots from the free throw line, at the rim, and the extended lane? You don't want to turn the ball over on your half of the court? Really?

John Tong. He was awesome.

I like Clark for the most part but he tries to be too clever.

Agree with best of all time but for today I like Gus Johnson and Jay Bilas.

[BaseballIsLife]

Gus Johnson or Jay Bilas. There not really bias like some other commentators we know.

Gus, Verne and Jay Bilas.
