Around the Big East 25-26

I thought Wright was good in studio and as color, and he would’ve probably been the main guy for Big East on TNT. Not sure who has his combo of skill and resume.

Agree he’s very good in studio. I just don’t think anyone watches a game to watch a studio analyst and heck Lavin will probably be back in studio in a year and he’s better than Jay IMO

And at the rate we are going we might have Amase and Cole in the studio at half and that I’ll definitely tune in to see what they are drinking ( aside from them being awesome guys )

Love Lav but don’t think he’s better than Jay and just doesn’t have the Big East/NCAA cred that Jay does. But not a game changer imho.

Appreciate it as always but I’m with DK as anything that results in more Donny Marshall is an awful thing by me

I have a differing opinion. I always found him pretty bland in studio. Didn't seem to have much enthusiasm, kind of was just there. Never really felt like he added much. Obviously an absolute legend and gentleman, but didn't feel it was a good fit.

I think him being as classy as he is hurt him from settling in in that role TBH

Pretty much nailed my thoughts. Just don't find him charismatic in the studio. I kinda felt like he was there because he needed something to do after coaching and that would be the natural move for a legendary coach
 
Wright brought cache and his presence would've elevated the broadcast/Big East brand. I'm not saying its some huge deal, but it does hurt. I do think he gets a little too nice and doesn't really criticize, but he does analyze the game very well.

I actually really like the job Roy Hibbert does for CBS. I hope TNT gets him aboard. He is someone you can tell actually does his homework and watches the games.
