One of the greatest centers in the college game ever... If it wasn't for injury, he was probably headed that way in pros.
But I just heard him do the color analysis of the Tennessee-Wisconsin game out in Hawaii. Brutal is being nice. BTW,Wisconsin won.. But ESPN has to do something to correct Bill or tell him maybe it is time to hang it up. The game is going on and he is talking about plants he saw on his bike ride on the island with Rick Barnes.. Repeated himself a few times.. Would not get back to the game when he would go on his diatribes of things in his life....He is very interesting but as a color analyst, it is not the right time to share his memoirs with the world on TV when the result of the game was still in doubt. Maybe too much Grateful Dead, mushrooms, time on the beach, whatever.... But I have not been that embarrassed for a color analyst in sports for a long time... GREAT GREAT GREAT PLAYER who is interesting but maybe color analyst in a game situation has passed him by... WOW.
