Expert analysis, love his take on the game from his perspective and I'm glad hes doing our game, we could all learn from him.

Musberger and Knight just makes it FEEL like a big game.

Love having them there tonight.

My preferred announcer teams right now are definitely Bilas, Raftery, and McDonough, and the other is Knight with whoever is doing play-by-play with him. I'm not a huge Musberger fan, but I don't hate him either. I'm glad we have them tonight.

Makes me reminisce about the 87 title game, which was called by Musberger on CBS.

And we even have a Triche in the game with Knight on the sideline tonight.

I don't get all the Knight love. He has talked about ball reversal for the first 15 minutes of the half. Enough already!

 

[mark79]

He is the second winningest coach of all time (soon to be third). He knows of what he speaks.

 

[SoBeCuse]

I think Knight is WAY overrated as a color guy. Shameful, really. He dosn't even know who has the ball at times. Shot fakes and ball reversals...blah, blah.

Because he's right. He hasn't just talked about it, he showed examples of how it should be done and explained how it could be done better.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Sure he's right. But, he mistakes numerous mistakes not knowing the correct players and is not very articulate. Sounds like some hick farmer. Great coach undeniably but this isn't his forte.

Who is watching hoops on Wednesday nights? People who already know about this stuff. To each their own though.

 

[jekelish]

Is it me, or does it seem like Musberger has his nose halfway up Knight's hind quarters all broadcast long?

And we even have a Triche in the game with Knight on the sideline tonight.

And Coleman and Boeheim.

There's probably a lot of twelve year olds out there that have no clue what ball reversal is. It didn't necessarily ocurr to me that a ball fake prior to the pass would move the whole zone enough to give the shooter enough time to get a good look before somebody could get out on him.

Mostly, I like Knight because he gives the straight gen about the game and difuses some of the crazy talk on the chat room and on this board. In the chat room tonight, several people wanted KJo yanked or never to take another 3 pt shot after the first 5 minutes of the game. Knight continually talked about what an accomplished and heady ballplayer he is. Obviously, KJo won the game for us. Just one example.
