I know Bilas does a decent job of trying to remain neutral when calling

these games, but I swear I do not think it is appropriate to have him calling a game of this importance. I know Herbie calls 0SU games, too, but I don’t really like that either. Basketball is much more intimate. With far fewer players, you get much closer to the coach. And with this being Coach K‘s last ACC game (even though, yes, they will still play in the NCAAs), I just don’t believe his call of the game would do justice to VT should we happen to bring it home down the stretch.

I know I am not playing a drinking game where I have to drink every time -- jdkhokie 03/12/2022 6:37PM

He's grate, and really likes our team. He'll be fine ** -- JoesterVT 03/12/2022 11:56AM

Agree 100% ** -- lowcountryhokie2 03/12/2022 12:46PM

I thought he called it pretty even last night. Very complimentary of…. -- Jackie VT 03/12/2022 11:28AM

No specific issue about last night, but last night we played UNC. Tonight -- Beach Hokie 03/12/2022 1:10PM

And I think he will give it to us when we do well. ** -- Jackie VT 03/12/2022 1:50PM

Ironically he was pulling for his nemesis UNCheat last nite. ** -- Maroon Unit 03/12/2022 11:21AM

No he wasn't. He was pretty objective noting that officiating was terrible -- ModerateHokie 03/12/2022 11:23AM

Yep. He specifically mentioned some bad no calls against us. ** -- Jackie VT 03/12/2022 11:29AM

He probably enjoyed last night...but tonight I would rather have Cory A. -- Tuckahokie 03/12/2022 11:19AM

WHAT??? He was obviously dejected with the UNCheat loss. ** -- Maroon Unit 03/12/2022 11:23AM

That is pure fantasy in your mind only -- JoesterVT 03/12/2022 11:58AM

I didn't get that vibe...he seemed fairly neutral to me ** -- Tuckahokie 03/12/2022 11:26AM

I agree he called the game "evenly" praise-wise -- Maroon Unit 03/12/2022 1:26PM

Fortunately announcers have zero impact on the outcome. ** -- ModerateHokie 03/12/2022 11:19AM

And if you listen to the radio broadcast, they have zero impact on... -- EDGEMAN 03/12/2022 11:22AM
