I think he's the third wheel with Dan the Bastard and his dad on that strange afternoon show on ESPN.

Yes, Bomani was on the local radio station here in Raleigh/Durham for awhile until he started to blow up nationally. Recently I heard him talking smack about college teams that play zone. He dissed Syracuse (this was after their loss to Pitt in the ACC tournament). He said that no team that plays zone can succeed, that they are playing zone because they can't play man. I find it hilarious that we worked our way to the Final 4 again with our signature zone with some sideline pressing. It made me smile about the comments that Bomani made. I like him in doses with other sports, but he probably needs to lay off college ball with his commentary.
On another note about the local sports radio here in Durham/Raleigh/Chapel Hill, they are complete homers. They only talk about Duke, North Carolina and NC State. The fact that these teams belong to the ACC and play other teams escapes their mention. They are especially reluctant to mention any teams north of the Mason Dixon line. This run by Syracuse is killing them. They have to talk about the Cuse, especially because they are facing North Carolina. They mention how cranky Boeheim is, but they at least think he's funny. The joke is that they know nothing about Syracuse. One of the announcers this morning was talking about how Syracuse hasn't done anything lately worth mentioning. "When was the last time they were relevant?", he asked. Two Final 4s in the last 4 years and 3 Final 8s in the past 5 years is the answer.

Bomani tries to do a show like LeBatard ie about sports but not really about sports...but he doesn't have Stugotz ergo it's not very good.

Is that because of the blocked shots? Or is it because he goes to into nightclubs and shouts "Who wants to sex Lydon?" and brings home a girl on each arm?

bomani is pretty good. everyone needs to chill with all this seeking disrespect stuff. his point was that the press itself wasn't anything special, but somehow virginia went into total meltdown and malachi went bonkers and we won. and he is basically right.
he doesn't like zone and that's fine. his point has more to do with a general team philosophy than the idea or strategy of zone itself (the idea being that you lace them up and say to the other team we are better than you man for man and we are going to straight beat you). plenty of teams play switching man to man defenses that have basic zone principles in the sense of guarding space on a court as opposed to straight up guarding a man. the whole "zone is for cowards" thing is just to be antagonistic, which is also fine.
