Great sportscaster. Worked with Dick Enberg (“Oh, my!”), Gary Bender, Curt Gowdy, etc.

At a Georgetown-Villanova game, referred to Allen Iverson as a “tough monkey”. He apologized for it, but Iverson said he was not bothered by it. I recall the comment as “That little money can play!”.

He was one of the finest basketball announcers of all times. Like Vin Sculley in baseball.
