It's bad enough that NJ Orange fans can't watch a number of games on TV or ACC.com including yesterday's.
But if we're reduced to having to listen to radio P-B-P...SU MUST do something about Jim Satalin.

He is the second worst radio color guy I've ever heard...ahead of only John Thompson.
The guy speaks in useless platitudes...almost no analysis and sometimes talks over the play-by-play.
He was D-1 head coach.
He must know the game.
It's amazing that a university that prides itself on its communications school has such a weak broadcast.
A lot of people on this board could do better.

But in broadcasting...people on the air rarely get useful feedback from management.
So, in the interest of helping, here are some suggestions:

1. Sit behind the mic with your hand over your mouth while the PBP is being called.
Speak only when there's an opening for it.

2. Stop with the noises like "uh-oh" or "no." It's inappropriate and on the radio no none even knows what you're reacting to.

3. Focus on the game. Know the other team and players' tendencies. Tell us what they're doing and what strategies are being employed.  Please add something useful...tell us why things are happening.

It's bad enough to lose.  It's even worse when you have to strain to figure out what's going on
