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.
I used to love Bilas, still like him, but he comes off as a knowitall a little bit too much for my liking.
 
He isn’t bad at all, there is so much worse out there, and he went to your school. Syracuse fans would listen to any former player fart into microphone and be up in arms if he wasn’t winning awards for it. You guys are tough.
His unjustified criticism of Bennett turned a lot of UVa fans off. Everything was better when he played and he did it better than any of the players we've had since he left. No, it wasn't, and no, you didn't. Plus, He. Never. Shuts. Up.
 
Think he does a good job. Not sure how others feel about him but think the ACC Network announcers are generally good.
Every time I see that he's the commentator, I moan. He is just a damn tool. He really is.
 
Benetti hes pretty good too.
Love Benetti. It's too bad that Dakich is no longer with ESPN. He and Benetti were hilarious together. Don't want to compare them to McDonough, Bilas and Rafferty, but I think it was the most enjoyable listen ESPN has had since that trio.
 
So i am listening to this game and thinking how bad the color guy was then it was randolph. Lol. Not sure whay my favorite moment was—predicting cuse going to mtm or saying frank fouled the guy when he didnt even touch him or later saying frank got blocked when he got tackled by two guys. Randolph is trash. Alexander all day over that guy.

so i was listening to this game tonight saying how this announced is horrible and wish we had alexander. Then they showed childress. He is absolutely terrible and kind of stupid. Once again, this board shows its lack of iq.
In our first game Childress was really good. I don’t know what the hell happened here, but he was horrible. Between calling banked threes great shots, repeatedly telling us where we fouled in slow mo when there’s clearly no contact and saying that boeheim was about to go to a man defense, it was like he did less homework than Angela Black (which I’m pretty sure is statistically impossible).

I forgot the banked 3 being a great shot!!! Lol, that was classic. He is terrible.
