David Locke

[Et tu Brute]

People bag out Harpring and Boler just cause they aren't analytic geeks.
But Boler is professional and has a great vocal.
Harpring has a very good feel for the game overall.

Not all broadcasters etc need to be the same.

Bolerjack cracks me up. He kind of reminds me of one of those toys where you pull a string on its back and it says one of a handful of phrases that it knows. Between each Jazz season he seems to learn a new one. Excited to hear this season's new phrase.

He is a professional. He knows his job and target audience. He is just trying to make the 2 hours and 30 minutes entertaining for the average Jazz fan, not the stat geeks.

Yeah, I have no issues with the Boler/Harpring duo. He's just the type of commentator who doesn't have that natural and organic flow to things. Like, a musician who is constantly thinking about what fits and goes where as opposed to going from his/her heart. Nothing right or wrong, just alternative styles.

I stopped listing to Locke because of his numbers (and this is coming from a stats person) but we're lucky to have him. He's got some towards his employers, but he's undeniably hard working and passionate. I don't think he's anymore egregious than the rest of Jazz media/online fanbase. I find it funny that people absolutely detest bias when all they really want is to hear what they want to hear a.k.a. cater to my biases or else you're biased against me.

Plus, how can you hate the guy who tells us who we're going to draft every year?

David Locke knows he's grating and annoys fans with his style. Yet he still found a way to overcome his personal deficiencies an become a NATIONAL BROADCASTER a inside member of a elite organization.

How many of you hater bishes kin say that? Stop being failure dicks. The guy clearly works his *** off an overcame all odds against him ta succeed.

MUCH RESPECT LOCKE.

This is why I posted about why I enjoy the SLC Punks podcast. No shilling, fairly good information, tell it like it is. Salt City Hoops is pretty good too. Both agree Dante should have played more fwiw

Brown, Harrington, and Harpring are all far worse than Locke. Bolerjack is essentially a talking mannequin.

We wish he were a talking mannequin.

go ahead and listen to basically any other team's radio broadcasters and you will realize how lucky we are to have Locke.

Amen. And IMO the same is true with Boler and Harp. Never have understood the hate on this board for our announcers.
