made to be in the booth calling games. It's a skill that many don't have.

I've always thought Michael Alisa would be great in the broadcast booth, for both radio and TV. Good looking kid who has confidence to spare and the gift of gab as well.

This job's made for John Beck. Anyone else would be a fail by BYUbroadcasting.

Not sure he'd want it. Pretty busy already and lives out of state.

Doesn’t he have to watch all the games his students play in for evaluation

Didn't he move to Oregon? Works for Nike.

Per his website, it says he works for Nike and lives in SLC. Not sure how

I want to hear Wrubell deal with Brady Poppinga in the booth.

Beck would be great, but I think it would be a huge pay cut

It wouldn't have to be the only thing he does. Mark Durrant does lots of things in addition to color commentating for BB

What Mark Durrant does is not close to what John Beck does. John Beck is considered one of the foremost experts in the
