Sac State announcer?

What is that guy's name? He just badmouthed the Griz and Weber for twenty minutes straight about getting all the calls in the Big Sky. What a clown. On another note, they won on a full court bomb as time expired.
 
Wonder if it's a new announcer for Sac. I seem to remember their announcer before being fairly mellow and not a constant whiner like UNC's.

Not sure what Sac's announcer could even be bitching about.. fouls were pretty even. Weber had 24 called on them, Sac had 25 called on them. Definitely not like some of the lopsided cluster fucks we've seen in the Big Sky before.

Going to have to watch the last few minutes of that game once it's available in the VOD section on bigskytv.org. Sounds like it was interesting.
 
This guy kept claiming he had covered Big Sky basketball for 19 years and Montana and Weber get all the calls. Sac State clearly charged at the 2:42 mark of OT and they called blocking and counted the basket. The free throw put them up one. Then the crazy double technical on Weber. Then a 3/4 court heave by Sac State hits nothing but net to win it. The announcer ruined a good game.
 
Maybe the craziest game I've ever watched. And definitely some of the shittiest officiating and announcing I've ever seen/heard.
 
Just watched it. Wow, the level of butthurt from that announcer is impressive! Not quite to the UNC guys douchebaggery level yet (remember when he was attacking Qvale for "quitting"?), but still... pretty serious case of sour grapes there from the Sac announcer.

I'm guessing he's hating on Montana now because of what Cherry did to them down there in 2012 after they hit a 3 pointer to tie it with 8 seconds left... Cherry got fouled with pretty much no time on the clock (and it was a foul) then hit a FT to win the game & crush the fragile hearts of the Sac State fans :P

Interesting last few minutes to watch though with an amazing shot at the end.
 
I have not watched it yet. I thought a year or 2 ago, Sac State had a couple of young unbiased guys for their Bigskytv webcasts? I thought they were pretty solid. Did they change to a radio guy or get someone new?

That's what I thought too. This guy tonight claims he's been doing it for ages though. I bet he's the radio guy. They must have just started using their radio guy for the Big Sky TV broadcasts recently. They should switch back to the other guys!

Definitely worth the watch btw. Hell of an ending!
 
ESPN Top Play No. 1 tonight is this game's ending! Wowser. Same top ten has Lillard taking flight for a nasty dunk.
 
This douche needs to be reprimanded and suspended for his conduct on the radio last night. :shock:
 
I posted this under another thread.....

The most classless and worst part about the Sac State announcer was when he was deliberately ranting his opinions about the officials while they were two feet away from him looking at the monitor on a couple plays. It was very pathetic. He may as well have been a dad of a player in the stands screaming at the ref. But for him to use his position at the table as a play by play announcer in that way, to try to judge or influence the officials while doing their job, is completely unprofessional and shows him to be a hack announcer.

Whether some of the calls were correct or not is irrelevant. He obviously supports and wants his team to win, but that was really bad and uncalled for.

By the way, grizzlyjournal, the situation that you thought was a back court violation...it wasn't missed by the refs. The Weber State player caught the ball with one foot on each side of the line when they were advancing the ball from the back court to the front court. He then moved the foot from the front court to the back court...not a violation. It would only have been a violation had he established both feet in the front court and then stepped back over the line. Team control in the front court had not yet been established...no violation. This is commonly mistaken by fans, coaches and players as a violation but it's not.
 
Dear Jon

The Sac State announcer really sucks because he is jealous of Montana and Weber State and says mean things about us. Please rectify this ASAP.

Also the Mo Club and Red's really miss you, and the Sports Networks reporters also really suck and have been mean to Montana ever since you left town and stopped treating these guys with your expense account when they visit. Please fix this also.

Sincerely, Griz Nation

PS, I love the ability to watch games live for free on the internet, by far the best thing the Big Sky Conference has done since inventing college football overtime. Please give yourself credit for getting this done.

At one point he said 16 years, then 19 years, then 30 years.
 
It sounds like he was suspended for the NAU game Thursday.

I think the more interesting thing from that thread is the link about the end of Thursday's game. The officials monitor in Dahlberg doesn't work? The backboard lights weren't in sync with the game clock? Imagine if the Griz had cost themselves a win with technical errors!

Also the travel was as egregious as I thought it was live.
 
Heard the monitor is broken and they don't have plans to fix it this season, citing budget problems. For D1 basketball this is embarrassing. This speaks volumes to our administration's cluelessness.

An Update on Montana's Replay System
Last night in my post, I incorrectly stated that it was the replay monitor for Montana that was broken and needed to be fixed. As it turns out, that was not exactly right.

I received some clarification from the Big Sky Conference:

It’s not the “monitor” that is broken at Montana. That could easily be fixed. The replay system on the school’s tricaster had a catastrophic malfunction last week. The entire replay system can’t be used – not on the in-screen video board, not on our Watch Big Sky broadcast. A replacement has been ordered, but they’ve been told it will take at least four weeks to get it.

That at least makes much more logical sense.

They also noted that they reviewed the play, and say the officials got it right. Even though the ball was out of his hands before the backlight went on, it did look like the officials got the call right, and that the clock and light just were not in sync.
