Tournament Announcers
« on: March 12, 2024, 06:03:45 PM »
Ian Eagje will call his first F4 this year.  He's always been better than Nantz imo and deserves this spot. However, I noticed that Lappas will be an analyst through the regional Finals and am completely dumbfounded by this decision.  Explanation?

I ❤️ Nantz.    Lappas is irksome, but this IS a CBS production.

Nantz is great for golf.  But Ian Eagle has always been better in hoops imo.  And football as well.

Announcer talent is spread out too thin.  Part of it is, CBS doesn’t have a deep roster and relies on some Turner talent.  Glad Reggie Miller is gone.

Would be nice if you could select audio from your local radio announcer for each team.

I'll take a team of Lappas, Simpkins and Walton any day over Homer.

I'm excited for the team of Andrew Catalon and Steve Lappas. They do college hoops all year long and should get the spot!

I will miss Jim Nantz, but excited for Ian Eagle

Ian Eagle is great, but I could listen to Kevin Harlan do NCAA and NBA games all day long.

Been a big fan of Eagle since 2013 when he called our Davidson and Butler NCAA games.
