re: Basketball Radio Broadcaster - Maravich Years

The announcer was Bob Peters. He was not a homer, more of a neutral type - and pretty good at describing the amazing skills of Maravich, especially the famous run-out-the-clock dribbling clinic at Georgia.

Peters would let kids (I was in 7th grade) gather around his announcer table after the game and listen to his post-game interview with Coach Press Maravich.

Of course the highlight was getting Pistol Pete's autograph. You went in one at a time into the dressing room where it was just you and Pete. He signed "Pistol" Pete Maravich #23. Thinking back, it seemed lonely for him, but that must have been how he wanted it.
