Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 4604704, member: 204"] I never suggested that an opinion host must have played or coached to offer insightful or fact-based opinion. Bob Costas provides thoughtful analysis though he never played or coached. Ray Didinger in Philadelphia provides very strong football analysis - as good as you’ll ever hear - though he never played or coached. Bob Ryan. Dan Shaughnessy. Mike Francesa. There are any number of sports journalists who build their knowledge base - learn the sport - and develop a substantive understanding of the issues. Brent Axe provided little evidence of having done that. By the way, I felt that Jim Boeheim should have done what Jay Wright did - leave a bit too early rather than a bit too late. [/QUOTE]
