I assumed he studies the opposing roster in advance and at least learns the number/names of the players that are likely to play. Over the years he's probably developed an ability to quickly learn names. He also has the roster right in front of him that he can look at during the broadcast.
And he’s a professional sports broadcaster. With 30 plus experience.
Like the rest of us he's probably hoping for one more banner before he retires.Of course, since EVERYTHING needs to change maybe IU should fire Don!
The only question is was Patterson a cowboy. He was from abilene my dad called him tex.
That was my thought as well. Put the QR code up when they are shooting FTs and click to send $ for each one they hit. After each made 3...again the code comes up and click
I’m open to the idea of completely changing things. Not because we have been losing, but because college basketball as I used to know it no longer exists.
Yes. Teams can barely keep the Kreigh Smith's and Steve Eyl's on a team for long anymore. Those guys were always intregal to team success. I'll always give accolades to them,and Brian Sloan types.
Had as much god given physical skills as any player. Just no eye of the tiger. The kid was literally TOO nice.
The whole thing about “it’s what’s on the front” and no names makes it more “team” has become kinda cheesy and outdated. I watched four pretty good teams playing “TEAM” basketball in the final four…they all had names on the back. I haven’t seen an IU “team” worth a f*** in several years. It’s not like leaving the names off the back gives us some kind of special power.
Jesus Effin Christmas!!! Thank you. A voice of reason from a Kentucky fan. Damn! Thank you. Well said.
Fall asleep? You would have been right at home on the IU bench with one of our assistant coaches.
I don’t think Cindy Simon Skodjt would go for that…
On court, classroom and life. I'll always respect that. Still a rare exception to most coaches even of that era, but mostly lost to his antics and caricature.
30 years ago we gave up our tradition of winning. We’re all still here. I think we can handle names on jerseys.
Andrae was a good player though. He had his moments. It's always the case when a team is lacking star power, they look to the ones they have and want more from them. But from my perspective Patterson was one of the only ones pulling his own weight on those teams.
But this reasoning doesn’t make any sense. Burn it down because we can handle it? Wut
