Barkley is great for the NBA. He just doesn't watch enough college basketball to comment on it. Not only that, imo, he basically thinks everyone sucks in college.
Agreed. Barkley is great for the NBA because he knows the teams and understands the game. He doesn't seem to know anything about college teams / players--not surprising, since he spends every night working NBA games on TNT.
I don't put any stock in what he says, but he is definitely a rabble rouser.
Just shoot me now. Why do they put this clown on the air? Is there actually someone at TruTV who thinks he does a good job?
Why not hire a retired coach like Jim Calhoun or Lefty Driesell, or a coach from a team not playing in the post season (like Bob Huggins) to provide commentary in the studio?
