cousy

I'm not going to say anything that has not already been said, but when did
that stop any of us!

I hope the 'Cous is back, if for no other reason than I do not think anyone
else would stand up to Heinson's ongoing blathering about refs and his
constantly upbeat attitude.  

I remember several year ago, that Cousy really impressed me when he stood
up for guys like Bagley or Sherman Douglas because they would push the
ball, and do the little things point guards are supposed to do.  Cousy
would even criticize the coach (Ford) about not recognizing the importance
of these guys, and benching them in favor of other guards not as
accomplished as them.  I say his knowledge of the game and bluntness
outweighs any problems with grammar or lack of pizzazz...

And also, I really like Gorman.  He is not willing to take on Heinson,
that's for sure, but he does get Heinson to sometimes talk about basketball
issues that are interesting.  This usually happens only when the game is a
blowout in the final quarter.  

The solution?  Gorman and COUSEY.  Gorman can do the play by play, and
'Cous can let it rip!  I can do w/o Tommy.  Better yet, give Tommy the job
done by Willie, and can his sorry act!

Keep in mind too that Cousey has said he does not want to do all the games,
and I think that is part of the problem with the Sports Channel execs.
