College hoops on Fox, ESPN and CBS: A relatively quiet Super Sunday; Saturday’s schedule brims

Fox, ESPN, CBS Weekend Broadcast Schedule and Announcers

Observations as I review this roster of broadcasters. Some unfamiliar names:

• Wayne Randazzo has a Fox broadcast this weekend. He’s Howie Rose’s sidekick on Mets radio broadcasts.

• Don’t see Boog Sciambi or Adam Amin on ESPN’s list this weekend. Boog is reportedly being considered by ESPN to replace Matt Vasgersian on Sunday night baseball. That would be great.

• I was told this week that Adam Amin is being considered to take over for the retiring Neil Funk on Chicago Bulls telecasts. Adam doesn’t want to be pigeonholed into one team. He likes doing a variety of sports. So I don’t know where this is going. I’m told that Adam was on Women’s Thursday Showcase and on ESPN Radio for NBA this week.

• Interesting name on Fox’ roster, Alex Faust. He does Kings hockey.  He did call both college football and basketball for ESPN in the past. I don’t remember seeing him. Faust was also rumored to take over for Alex Trebek when the legend retires from Jeopardy.

• Paul Sunderland is assigned an ESPN game. He’s very good at volleyball. He played the sport. He filled in for Chick Hearn when the Lakers’ vet got sick late in life. He wasn’t retained.

• Glad to see Rich Hollenberg get an ABC game. Good announcer. He’s underused.
