Hi all,
I was told there was a discussion about our broadcast on here and I guess curiosity got the best of me.
Thanks David for your kind words, hopefully most folks enjoy the coverage. I wouldn't expect many Wooster fans to be glowing about it, considering it's a Wittenberg broadcast intended primarily for Tigers fans. I do plenty of "network" assignments (i.e. high school state championships for the OHSAA Radio Network) that are intended to be completely impartial and focus on the storylines/perspective of both teams equally. This is a different scenario.
Although, even when I'm broadcasting for a specific team, I'd like to think I stay fairly low on the "homer-meter".
My broadcast partner is "The Coach" Jim Scoby. He's been an assistant coach at the University of Dayton, Wittenberg, and spent 25+ years in high school coaching. Say what you will about his broadcasting style/ability, but his basketball resume speaks for itself.
Anyway, thanks to all that tuned in and congrats to the Scots on another win in the series.

However, I have to agree that Scott Leo's counterpart on Witt's broadcasts is atrocious. Based on his commentary, I seriously question whether he has spent much time around basketball. Leo's not great, but he would be better served covering the game on his own.
