I thought the commentators were great and had educated opinions. Yes there are lots of judgment calls to be made in bball, but you could reasonably argue for one side or the other. I think they were pretty objective.

Just rewatched the game. Wow that announcer was a homer.

It was absurd. Talking to sister in Boise tonight & even she said they watched and asked if

One guy is the SF Giants play by play guy and the other played at UCLA. I’m sure

Wait, you didn’t think he was being a homer for the Zags?

No. Give me a break. First of all, I’m not sure TJ’s foul wasn’t flagrant. And

You really wonder about us???

The sensitivity some of you show towards refs, players, fans, coaches and now

That’s the point. He was supposed to be neutral but was anything but

Sorry your Zags lost.

Wanted BYU. Cheered for BYU. Glad BYU won.

He clearly had issues with BYU. It was actually bizarre and very

Did it bother you?

You seem bent out of shape

I’m not the one worried about an announcer. Who cares what the guy says?

pink22

2/23/20 10:08pm

Then who should care what we are saying? Your logic is sound

byuguns55

2/23/20 10:08pm

My point is it would be nice to not act like somebody is always out to screw us

pink22

2/23/20 10:13pm

3 dozen games per season. First time we’ve complained of homer announcers.

Cougar76

2/23/20 10:16pm

I think (and he can correct me if I’m wrong)

Exactly. The persecution complex is strong in Mormonism. Always has been.

What an ironic post

I’m with pink. He had plenty of compliments for BYU.

The guy is the commentator broadcasting the game - so who cares what he says?

Did you notice how many times the announcer was concerned for Gonzaga’s safety?

RealityCheck

2/24/20 12:03am

it's a valid concern- rushing the court is dangerous for those trying to get off the court.

Farnham has called zags games for espn a lot

Dude. CB may be exaggerating it but you are overly minimizing it.

Gerald-DeGroot

Wrong. I watch Zags a lot and Farnham is a big time shiller.

I was there live and haven't watch the ESPN telecast but I did watch the ESPN

That sounds really impartial

Wingnut

2/23/20 9:58pm

Impossible. Announcers are always neutral by definition.

Cougar76

2/23/20 10:00pm

Since when is it the announcers job to "work the refs"?

Seasider

2/23/20 10:00pm

He should have just sat by Few. Would have been more transparent

BYU '80

This!

Totally innappropriate.

"...what she said."

Wow, that's even more embarrassing. What a loser.

Mitty

2/23/20 11:05pm

If true, this is appalling and damning. Journalists do not work refs.

calbearcoug

2/24/20 12:06am

That’s unbelievable.

Gerald-DeGroot

I'll validate this account. It was the most demonstrative thing I have seen from

I think they overreacted to Haws'foul, but other than that I thought they did a good job

Adrielle

Those guys were junk-rate garbage as commentators. Give us Steve Cleveland.

Give us Bill Walton!

As objective as CNN 😉

he was a Zags homer for sure, but the concern for the players during a court-storming afterwards is real

byujag

2/24/20 7:18am

The refs were not good and the announcers were terrible.

oldrugger

2/24/20 10:08am

I think the refs were good. Dave Hall is one of the best in the business
