I’m wondering if it was more of a network thing. NBC analysts seem more buttoned up in terms of personality. Fox seems to allow analysts to freestyle a bit. I’ve heard Drew when he’s just talking ball as a guest at the desk—like in that clip of he and Reggie during a college pregame show. He was awesome. I do wonder if he’d gone with Fox if he would’ve been better. Not saying for certain Drew’s commentary would’ve been really good with Fox. I just wonder if the looser atmosphere would’ve made him feel more relaxed.
Also, I thought his in studio commentary on NBC sports desk was actually good. It was the in game commentary that was bad.
