NCAA Tournament on CBS: Announcers

March 2nd, 2008 by Shawn Siegel

When you watch as much of the NCAA Tournament as I do.. you form a close bond with the announcers on CBS. Some strong bonds.. some I could do without.  Here is a roster of the CBS college basketball team, including links to profiles on CBS.com, their role during the broadcast, and my rating of their recent work.  Nantz and Packer are the Final Four team, which is noted by FF.

 

C is considered your run of the mill broadcaster, neither exceptional nor annoying. On the most part, CBS does a good job with their coverage, hence mostly respectable grades.
