Mike Breen?

Mike Breen?

Yes. So simple, but it’s currently my favorite call in sports.

 

[rome8180]

Richard Hamilton was a big deal too, right?

 

[DurhamSon]

Nantz was hands down the best CBB playcaller in my lifetime, I’m not even sure who’s second. Harlan is probably my favorite NBA guy but it’s a big step down even if they get him on the mic

 

[physicsfactor]

As was Jake Voskuhl

Kemba was the only UConn player to resonate nationally.

You obviously weren’t from around here when the fans of the Charlotte Bobcats could console themselves after missing out on Dwight Howard by drafting beast Emeka Okafor with the 2nd pick!

For some reason that Final Four game in '04 was the reason I became a Duke fan as a 7 year old from California. Just a weird life choice.

Ray Allen is probably the most successful Huskie but no one thinks of his college years when remembering him

 

[physicsfactor]

Harlan’s “no regard for human life!!” call is fantastic as well

 

[rome8180]

Ray Allen is probably the most successful Huskie but no one thinks of his college years when remembering him (Thread reply)

Which is weird because he averaged 23 ppg as a junior

holy hell I’m old

Love Harlan and Breen. Nantz has been the best in football for a while, IMO

 

[rome8180]

Yeah, I was 23 going on 24 when that game happened

 

[best4heisman]

My goal is to be the last surviving member of Duke-Forum. Probably a lock if I reach 75

I also looked at his stats just now. They were godly. We need a Ray Allen on our team. He was so ahead of his time. Taking 7 threes a game and making 47% of them. Why do people think JJ was the best college shooter ever?

 

[DurhamSon]

“Coach K is now a proud father of three, in more ways than one”
“And Duke, is King of the Dance!”
“He’s on his way to MOP if they win it, if they win it”

Corny, but those calls by Nantz are just as associated with our titles as any singular play

 

[rome8180]

"It almost went in!"

 

[rome8180]

That's as associated with 2010 as the "And Duke is King of the Dance" thing, sadly

 

[rome8180]

Coming back to the shooting, I was kind of shocked when I looked up Hurley's 3pt volume and attempts at Duke. K used to be a revolutionary

 

[rome8180]

42% on 6.5 attempts as a senior. Think about that in 1993. How did we become so backwards in the last 5 years?

 

[rome8180]

Is it all Scheyer's influence?
