I love Dickie V. His passion for the game is genuine and contagious. Yes, he's a Duke homer, I don't care. He's an announcer, he's not on the tournament committee.
He's not an announcer, he's a screamer.
I'm sure he's a nice fellow and I agree he loves the game, but he makes the broadcast all about him and his antics. His contributions are at a fourth-grade level.
In short, he plays the clown. Which is fine, if one likes clowns, but who wants to watch or listen to a clown while a game's going on? I like an announcer that trusts his audience and knows the game is sufficient to hold our interest. No hollering and hype necessary.
