Basketball Radio Broadcaster - Maravich Years

I do not know. I'm going to take a wild guess and say Walter Hill. He did color for football with Ferguson for a long time. I know Ferguson and Joe Dean did the TVS SEC game of the week. Did Ferguson not do the midweek basketball games or the early season hoops games ?

If it was Walter, he is still around retired and living in Baton Rouge. Got a raw deal from WBRZ who forced him into retirement after their consultant said to go with a youth movement.

I guewss that's the life in broadcasting.

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.

This is my first ever post so wish me luck. I seem to remember an announcer named "Brad Brian" or something close to that while listening to Maravich's senior year. Anyone remember him?
