Dick Enberg RIP

[Untouchables22]

We lost a giant in the history of college basketball today...a superb announcer and a great human being.

Dick Enberg wrote the book on how radio and TV calls should be done.

You could listen to him for years and never know that he was a UCLA'n. He was so down the middle that the ass holes we have doing the game today should take lessons from the real pro.

Rest in peace Mr. Engerg; may God bless you.

Enberg was an IU grad, 2 degrees. He was so good you thought he was a UCLA'n.

That’s a shame. He was a good one. Had his bags packed to go to Boston to see his 3rd grand baby for the first time.

A true professional. Don't make them like him anymore.

A truly great announcer. I'm biased as an Illini fan, but I'll leave what I believe to be one of his greatest calls:
