Okay guys, I need some help..

I was watching the ESPNU game between WVU and Louisville and the commentator's name escapes me.

He's black (I believe) and has a very heavy accent. I also think he's a former coach.

I know this doesn't help a WHOLE lot, but it's going to piss me off the rest of the night if I don't find out who it is.

REP to whomever!

I'm not watching the game, but I'm willing to guess. Is it Neil Smith?

[Ceej]

Nope, nor is it Len Elmore.



Are there any other black NCAA color commentators who broadcast on ESPN?

Andre Ware?

[Ceej]

I thought Andre Ware only did college football.

The guy (I think) I'm referring to is a former black, NCAA D1 basketball coach. I've looked everywhere!

It's not Len Elmore.

[Mecca]

John Thompson?

[Mr. Flopnuts]

John Thompson?


I thought of him, but figured it would be too obvious.

[Mecca]

Well he's a black guy and former coach...any guess works now.

[Ceej]

I don't think it was JT either. He was commentating with Doris Burke - if that helps.


Generally I thought all game recaps had who broadcasted the game. I've looked up all sites on recap of the WVU/L'ville game and nothing, argh.

[Ceej]

I mentioned I didn't have a WHOLE lot of details. I just can't put his name or face together, obviously..

Not all former black basketball coaches go on to color commentate for ESPN.

[Ceej]

I'll just head to bed now...they're playing another replay on the U at 8am. I'll record it.
