Hollinger gives ROY to Jazz

[Sneakers]

Rookie of the Year (announcer): Matt Harpring, Jazz
Harpring, who played for the Jazz for seven seasons, was a revelation in his new career behind the mike, offering clear, concise explanations and shunning the rah-rah stuff that affects too many local-market announcers. Harpring showed a rare ability to point out the home team's mistakes without sounding critical, and because he played in this system he could point out exactly when and where the mistakes were being made.
About the only downside for Utah fans is that Harpring has been so good, it may not be long before the national broadcasters pluck him away.

Really, how ridiculous does this analysis sound? Pretty sure he got a Jazz feed and heard all their RoY jokes and backwards "analyzed it". Hollinger for the win!

Sounds like satire to me Lance-get-in-my-pants. Harpring plucked away?

I have yet to see any evidence that Hollinger engages in satire of any kind.

Yeah, Harpring isn't so great.. but then I listen to other team's broadcasts... and I feel a little lucky.

I welcome every game done by Ron Boone. Usually I don't even notice for a couple quarters until I start asking myself "why am I not flying into an uncontrollable rage as per usual?" Then I realize what's different.

At least when Harpring talks, it is relevant to what is currently going on in the game. Boone is horrible with this.

I second this. I find watching the game more enjoyable with Boone doing the color.

Make it happen.

Ron Boone sucks too though.

 

[CALJAZZFAN]

Harpring is pretty bad, but try listening to the Warriors' announcers. Harpring is Emmy worthy compared to these clowns.

Did you guys know that Matt Harpring used to play Football?

Also, I'm sure none of you have heard this from Matt, but CJ's inconsistent and Hayward's shot is that one coming off the curl...

I don't mind Harpring's color commentary. It's watching the Jazz that I hate.
