Nice article on Barry Tompkins

"I've always wondered why we as broadcasters are news to begin with," Tompkins said. "When I started, I always equated my job to a referee. If you do your job right, nobody notices you. My biggest responsibility is to let the fans live the moment. So less is more." -Tompkins


hear that Bob Sheridan and Gus Johnson?

Thanks for the article, flapanther. It was an enjoyable read. I agree with Barry's statement, however it's ironic that he states "less is more." As an announcer, Tompkins was the biggest motor mouth I ever heard.
