I think Childress is a rising star. That said, I'm a bit of a contrarian when it comes to color announcers. Among other things, I really liked the Dan Dakich/Jon Sciambi combo. I also think Jay Bilas is excellent, and I don't believe that Bill Raftery is as good as some say. He employs a lot of cliches, which many seem to enjoy, but his analysis during games is less than vanilla. I can take or leave Cory Alexander, but sometimes I wish the ACC/ESPN would swap him with the SEC/ESPN for Jon Sundvold. I think he's pretty good.
