Like, honestly, would I want those guys to do a full season together?

No, like to be very blunt, like I, at a certain point with Vital and this was even Vital on his prime, like it's very good for me in doses.

Like, at a certain point, you know, it's a little painful for me.

I do love Barkley, though.

I like seeing him on different outlets, so I thought that was cool.

You know, in terms of the tournament itself...

I think CBS and Turner now – and I wouldn't say they're on autopilot, but I really think they do a very good job on the production.

Like the tournament just like is really, really fun to watch.

They don't miss calls.

It's – they have a great feel of sort of when to show the crowd.

Also, I think they have their best group of broadcasters in terms of the teams that I've ever seen.

If you go through the first five broadcast groups or even six, they're all good.

They could probably all do the finals if they wish.

No offense to Jim Nance, but Ian Eagle is a better basketball broadcaster than Jim Nance.
