Bye Bye Don Hall

[ShockBand]

The selling of a CD gets dicey due to ASCAP/BMI royalty issues, but it can certainly be done if the desire and funding is there. I still have somewhere my old tapes from the late 80s when I played.

After the game last night, I sat in my seat till nearly everyone had cleared the arena. I just wanted to soak in all the vibes I could. It was nice.

The drummer going off right before half time was awesome ... what I have been begging for for years! MORE OF THAT!!

Re: Bye Bye Don Hall

Let me add one thing. I know how the bills get paid. But wasn't it nice to have absolutely NONE of that last night? Think that had any bearing on the crowd staying "in" the game during timeouts?

I had a mini-celebration when I didn't hear about Klein Construction & Flooring after the first 3.

Regarding Don Hall . . . you don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone.

I positively HATE over-dramatizing announcers. It's one of the reasons I don't attend more HCC games. Even on televised road games I can tell when the PA guy is like that and it's irritating then.

Hall does a fine job in my book.

You dont have to go overboard but I feel like the PA guy should bring a source of some entertainment. Perhaps maybe even a bit antagonizing to the visiting team.

I forget his name but the guy that does the Pistons games is pretty good.

I like Don Hall. I see no reason to dump him.

I also loved last night with NO PROMOTIONS during the time outs.

I loved listening to the band and I loved the cheering during the time outs.

It was a pure basketball game. More like it used to be in the 70s and 80s before Lew Perkins came along and starting adding all the little promotions that may help pay the bills but they take away from the game atmosphere.

Don Hall does a good job. There's no need for a change there.

The OOC home schedule does need to get better!

[SubGod22]

I'd love for the OOC Home schedule to improve, but I just want the OOC to improve. Home and/or away.

I don't need an over the top announcer. What Don says is fine, but his pronunciation is awful. How can he be a radio personality and not be able to pronounce things? Come on, he cannot even pronouce "national", he insists that Toure rhymes with Murry, and he thinks people stay at the Innd at Tallgrass. Is that really how we want to be represented on the PA system?

[AndShock]

Didn't Creighton complain about Drake's PA guy being too much of a homer? Maybe it was just Matty P.

[ShockerPrez]

Don Hall is Levitt/Koch arena if you ask me. That's the PA voice of the Shox. Good or bad. Sort of like Kennedy. Yeah, he's a homer, but he's our homer, by GOD!

He's a tool and needs to go!

What's with the gray hoodie up during a game....covering up cosmetic surgery? Full of himself, non-descript and an overall arse! ;-)

Yes selling that sponsorship for the 3 Point announcement was terrible at best. Don't do that again!
