Perhaps it is laziness, but I have worked with some folks who just can't

pronounce names correctly. Anything that isn't standard or common and it is a crapshoot. I think it more about ignorance, than laziness, but if you know it is an issue you have, work on it and get better.

Three years running. McCann seems like a good enough guy, but that strikes me as lazy.

Such people shouldn't be sports-announcing for a major university.

In fairness to McCann, Fresno had a guard named Crawford who DID just miss the previous shot

I don't think there was a slip. Crawford nearly got run over.

I'd maybe believe that, but his immediate try at a course correction (where he implied as much)

Crawford was running toward the hoop to defend Catchings. Look out, Crawford.

I'll grant it's a possibility. It was FAR from his worst blunder — if it were indeed a blunder.

Also was mispronouncing AJs name. Dude. That is one name you have to get right.

He obviously got taken aside & corrected on that, cuz he was saying it correctly — & quite a bit — at the end.

Anyone on CB can do a better job than McCann

I think you grossly underestimate how difficult his job is...

Yeah? fill me in.

How many people want to be announcers? Tons right? People even study it in school... and still, some announcers are

HarlemCoug

Yeah, sorry man, pick any random CBer and give him/her the same amount

SV72 Sale

I think you overestimate the average CBer.

I think McCann is a good studio host guy, podcast guy and was OK

What do you mean?

Yeah, I was trying to figure out what I was missing.
