Utah Jazz release ad specifically for NAOS

I listen to locked on but his voice can grate.

If it’s more grating to a person than having the play-by-play person frequently call the game inaccurately, never show any sign of improvement or effort, or even really like the sport then yeah, they’re a casual fan.

I’m not making a full-throated endorsement of Locke as much as I’m just pointing out that we already have a guy that really tries to do a good job and does a better job than our local broadcasting potato.

I mean, that wasn't even an exaggeration some times last season.

I think that may have been an actual call.

Good thing Boler wasn’t the radio voice back when I was a kid. Back then games were on KJazz14, and only half the games were on tv so the ones that weren’t I listened to on the radio. Imagine Boler saying Stockton for three, yes!!!! And it was only from 18 feet. Lol

I'm actually excited for Rowe... typically female broadcasters have to work harder and be more knowledgeable and good at their jobs to get traction imo. Take Doris Burke who I don't fawn over like some but she is generally crazy prepared and I like having her on games. Sarah Kustok in Brooklyn is fantastic. I'm guessing she's overqualified for the gig and will do well... I am also guessing a bunch of dudes will hate having her on simply because she's female no matter how good she is.

No need to guess. It’s a certainty.

I know nothing about Rowe but hope you’re right.

I actually don't care how much "expertise" a broadcaster brings. Their job is to make the game entertaining, and I find that most people people trying to be experts spend their airtime trying to show off how correct or smart they are. Someone who enjoys the game but isn't too much of a fan is good enough for me. As corny as Matt and Boler were at some times, I don't think they got in the way of the enjoyment of the game. So many local broadcasts have commentators that cheer too hard for their team. National TV broadcasts are just filled with "experts" who like to hear the sound of their own voice. Basketball should be the main product, but the NBA doesn't do that.

I agree with the theme of what you are saying… I just think there is a base of knowledge that Boler lacks.
