    Wow that major news. Calvin is an institution. It sucks that he spent some of his best would be commentating years in oblivion. I will always love those Calvin-Worrell 90’s years

    One of my favorite memories was getting a pic with bill and Calvin at a game where I was sitting courtside. Made up for the 44 Jalen Rose dropped on us that night.

    I wish the Calvin/Worrell team lasted all the way until Bill's recent retirement. I loved those two together.

    I remember little Niagara waiting until the last minute to exit the locker room before their game against heavily favored Syracuse. They trotted out in the snake for their only pregame warm-up, finished it off with a Murph dunk. Worth the technical foul. The crowd went wild, stayed wild while Murph dropped 68. The Orange never had a chance.

    Thanks Calvin. You, Ernie DiGregorio, Pistol Pete Maravich, Dwight "Bo Peep" Lamar, and Walt Frazier lit my love for basketball, and the screen on my 12", black-and-white Zenith-- if I could get the rabbit ears right. It's been fun. Mostly.

    They should bring him and Bill back for one last game, if they're up for it. Calling the game.

    I'll never forget his face of disgust and disappointment the day Harden quit. One of those things that sticks with you until a championship is won again.

    They should bring him and Rudy T back for one last game as players. They can't be any worse than what we have now.
