Petition to have Matt Harpring canned

K... well in my experience fading or floating toward my dominant hand is much more natural and gives added space... which is the purpose for floating/fading in the first place.

At very worst they are equal... much easier... nonsense.

No, you are completely wrong on this. Its not an opinion thing at all. Anyone who has actually played and been coached properly could tell you this.

K... if we ever play I will show ya what I'm talking about.
 
Going to your weak hand you can fadeaway and have your shoulders be aligned properly without much additional motion needed. You also have access to a much easier step back shot.

Going to your string side you have to fade and do a lot of work to rotate your shoulders for proper alignment.
 
I don't mind the new dude but he's pretty bland as far as charisma. Harpring may be a complete goof and sometimes leaves me shaking my head but I kind of like that for some reason. Maybe it's his history here.
 
Is it impossible to find good likeable announcers. Seems like 75% are annoying. I’m prolly listening to the game on mute from now on.

That's what I'm saying... he doesn't seem like our guy... I don't need a full homer, but I want to feel like the broadcasters are rooting for us... the emotion and connection isn't there.

Just run old replays of hot rod-isms over the game no analysis... just someone pushing a button and hearing "gentle push and a mild arc and the old cowhide globe hits home" and "you gotta love it baby".

Don't forget the belt-high dribble.

I miss that drunk bastard so much.

Even drunk he knew more about the game and could call it better than just about any other announcers. I loved how he never pulled any punches, calling out stupid plays when they happened but still unabashedly being the top jazz fan. Boler always makes me think he's punching his time card and thinking about football the whole time. Definitely not a fan, it's just his job.

Dood was the truth... so genuine and just fun as hell... he used to hang in a bar in heber city on occasion... my dad always made sure he drank for free and said he was so friendly and nice to talk with. Hot rod tolerating my drunk dad tells me all I need to know about the guy... 4-5 of my step moms couldn’t do it.
